Well this is a tutorial I wrote back in spetember, it was never posted anywhere so I thought I'd share it with you now, I no longer use 3d Studio Max, but the results can be seen in a piece i once made called "Gone with the Wind." Anyway I hope you enjoy this tutorial, if you have any comments they are greatly apprecated, and any questions can be messaged to me, or you can find my msn on my page. I really hope this helps people out, enjoy.
