This Maya 2008 tutorial will cover basic Polygon work-flow which includes the use of Split Polygon , Extrude , Insert Edge Loop and Bevel tools to get a new user comfortable with the many aspects of modelling architecture.
You will start off by learning how to set up image planes to assist you with the dimensions and characteristics of your building. Following this a quick lesson on creating a custom shelf for your modelling project.
Then we will start modelling using Polygon Primatives to rough out part of the Taj Mahal. As the Taj Mahal is symmetrical only one quarter of the main building structure is modelled to save time with the remainder of the building being a lesson in duplication and combining to complete the outer walls. Additional details such as the Domes and Manarets are also modelled seprately and added to complete your model.

This legendary tutorial show what no other tutorials have dared show - hot to work in 3Ds Max at extreme levels of detail in an end-to-end tutorial
Not only do you create the 380 meter high, hyper-detailed Ultimax Armageddon, but you also create it's swarms of fighters, a massive fue depot for it to attack aswell as having all the extra reference you could ever want.

Silo 2 is a focused 3D modeling application with the ability to effortlessly switch between organically sculpting high-polygon models and precisely controlling hard-edged surfaces. It can be used for anything from creating 3D characters for video games and movies to quickly exploring 3D architectural ideas.

High-Polygon Creature Modeling
Silo is currently being used at top studios worldwide as both a stand-alone design tool and as a versatile element of a multi-software 3D graphics workflow.

14 high polygon models of rosebushes in da .max format (3ds Max 9 >) with all textures u need (diffuse, bump, specular).

Designed to handle the most demanding reverse engineering, product design and rapid prototyping challenges, Geomagic Studio transforms 3D scan data and polygon meshes into accurate 3D digital models. A perfect complement to the CAD, CAE and CAM tools you already own, Studio outputs industry standard formats including STL, IGES, STEP and native CAD files.

This is a small overview of some of the new highlights. A full feature list can be found here.
Workflow - refined
A vastly improved workflow sets new standards and makes R9 a must have update for everyone - no matter which field you?re working in. The HeadUpDisplay, wich displays parameters directly in the viewport; Live Polygon Selection for much easier selection of polygons, edges and points; new view modes like Hidden Line; a fully customizable user interface; further improved Drag&Drop, a powerful new search function for the object browser; configurable shortcut hierarchies; a tweak mode, wich automatically switches between polygon mode, edge mode and point mode and and and…all the right tools for professionals!
