I have a big favor to ask all of you who find these blog tutorials useful to help me in promoting my new video series of fundamental 3ds Max and VIZ, beginning with over seven hours of modeling lessons. They are available online now and will be available on DVD soon at www.CADLearning.com. Please copy the following press release and post it wherever it will reach someone who can benefit from in-depth fundamental training. This new training will not replace the lessons on this blog, but will expand on it greatly. Thanks for your help   more »

I hope the two tutorials will be useful to give direction for creating other wavy, too.   more »
