Don't know about furniture, but if you dig around www.cgtalk.com maybe you can find something. CGTalk has a 3dsmax forum with a tutorials thread.

Try the GMax tutorials. It should be very similar to 3DS Max. Get the zip file at: www.turbosquid.com/gmax :)

Hey Windrunner, we've got something in common right here... I'm also currently learning 3DS Max for a University project.

It kinda makes sense.. but my god there's so many buttons!

lol yeah too many buttons, but once you get the hang of the basic functions it quite easy to use the program.

The inbuilt max tutorials are very useful, too.  (at least in v4)

in 3dsMax, you can mix and match shaders to do anything you want. in fact, you can make entire scenes without using a single texture.

That's what has made it so initimidating to try and learn, I don't know what anything does and I don't know proper names for any of the tools/functions so the tutorials are just this side of useless.:sigh:

I think I can officially say that I suck and the further you guys distance yourself from me the better off you'll be.:sigh: :blah:
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

it's not so bad when you realize for every one thing it can do it has four or five buttons.

You've been very pesimistic of late Liberator. Lighten up dude, or have a drink, or both. :D

@Carl - Well that's just being too lazy to apply and position the textures (I must admit, I hate doing), but I was mostly pulling your leg.

Come to think though, I havn't seen you post anything in the way of art of late. What's holding you back?
What was your last project, that Power ranges thing if memory serves...?

Learn the shortcut keys. And isn't the menu modable, so you can move stuff around?
