I extremely need help bad on detailing, I will use this calculator for an example: http://www.vi2.com/getFile/133216.jpg

I need to learn how to do those simple things such as making the corners of the calculator rounded, the buttons, and also the curvy line 2/3 of the way up below the MR MC M+ and M- buttons, if anyone can help me I would really appreciate it, btw I am only 14 years old

Use Meshsmooth for the general shape and make sure your mesh as quite a few segments. Then you'll need to get into Sub-object level and move vertices (using bezier curves) to round the corners and that wavy piece. Also, you'll need to extrude faces to create your buttons and such. Pretty simple.

Also, have you gone through the tutorials that came with max? If not, do those because techniques modeling will become apparant when you go to do the calculator.

I read your other post. Your only 14 and that's great you've been doing max since you were 12. You'll be a master in no time as long as you keep at and start simple, learning everything you can. Don't give up. Until you turn 18 and then it's all downhill from there! ;)
