First of all, I''d like to welcome MaxisBrian to Simtropolis.   MaxisBrian is the lead artist for Simcity, and he has been following your Gmax work recently.  MaxisBrian would like to offer some help, tips, and advice on modeling and texturing with Gmax, and start us off with some good solid techniques for modeling buildings.   He will be covering the topics of basic modeling and texturing, along with the all-critical UVW mapping.  He will also try his best to answer your questions when he can.   You should start to see him around the site, most likely in this forum very soon!   Use this thread as a start to share your thoughts about your Gmax experience so far, what you''ve found useful or frustrating and give MaxisBrian a warm welcome while you''re at it!   cheers!
