okay.. i'm at wits end, since this forum has a TON of experienced modelers out there, i'll take the opportunity to pick the brains of some such experts, basically, i want to make the aforementioned model workable within the confines of 3dmax with the hope of learning how to use the program in its entirety..
i'll give the above model for folks to clean up, only if they tell me how they did it, what was wrong, what i can do to fix it in the future, blah blah blah, amongst other nuggets of advice, but since i don't have an FTP worth crap, i'm gonna haveta attach this file..
