Just wondering.

Why I can find hour + long videos on to do everything else on Gmax, but can't find one good, for beginner tutorial. I appreciate the help given to me, but it's not fun waiting a half a day for and answer and sometimes that don't even help. It's not that I'm stupid. I just understand the in complexity of Sketchup and don't understand the complexity of Gmax/3dsmax. I'd just be really nice if one of you would take the time to make a video tutorial step by step instructions on how to design a half way decent building,texturing and all. I guess I should just throw out the money for Sketchup Pro or not even bother sharing my designs with others. Take it, I can't even enjoy my own.

A video like you requested would be tens of hours long. The entire batting process is a lot of trial and error. A lot of time goes into testing different materials and running renders (at least for me). No two BATs I've done have been alike and I typically learn new skills each time around. I would consider signing up for a subscription at digital tutors for their 3ds max tutorials. I kind of doubt you will find someone making new gmax tutorials since the program is so dated but if you can't find tutorials for max you aren't looking hard enough. Anyways good luck in your training and just keep at it. You may also learn gmax by learning 3ds max since many of the basic concepts are identical.
