What is the best way to make complicated models? I am trying to find one good technique that I can master that will allow me to make alot of diffrent kinds of models (people, cars, buildings, etc). Does anybody have any suggestions? I would also like to know of any good books for 3ds max 7.

Thanks,
Islam Sharabash

Hey dont be too quick calling yourself stupid! (I know you said stupid question, but remember there are no stupid questions only stupid people ;) )

Actually, like there is no universal glue thats good for every fuc.. I mean, every single thing - there is no modeling technique that fits everything HOVEVER a lot of modeling can be and usually is done with sub division modeling (box modeling). People do all kind of stuff with it - from heads, animals, cars to buildings. Its good for a lot of things and I recomend it - but keep in mind some stuff may be better done with something else!

for alot of different models try a lot of different techniques, strip modeling ( polygon by polygon ) box modeling, spline and nurn modeling ( althou u dont have control on the mesh ).
