So if there more tutorials you want me to add just post them here and I update the topic with them. Thanks to everyone for keeping the topic from being buried.

               Yeah, the real issue seems to be that the folks that have been boosted to moderator status, just don't visit the forums all that often.. once it becomes a "job" it gets boring, and apparently no one really wants to do the work.

               I would like to suggest that you change the title of this thread, Just to advoide confusion.  Even if it is just to add (Old Thread to the end of the title.  

Looking over the new thread I think it would ne nice to see more of the url's titled rather then just being the url's.  

one thing I have learned when coping/pasting links on this forum is the use of the BBCode button in the upper right corner on the reply forum.  It often come in usefull for stopping the BBCcode from doubling up the [ url] tags.

Here is what I would like to see the links look more like.

Edited links.

Actually, that site is dead, but we have saved all the forums/tutorials

We hope to be adding MORE tutorials, both vid capture style, and standard step by step, pic in post style as we progress.

We are actively seeking folks to help flesh out these various tutorials or

This project is a collection of various tips, techniques, and tutorials for

information.

Some of the things you'll find:

This is a living document that is constantly changing as new information
becomes available. I have attempted to be as accurate as possible, but
make no guarantees as to the specific accuracy of any information
contained within. I invite the Community to correct, submit, and/or
ammend information as necessary. I may even convert this over to a Wiki

Here is another tutorial, covering basics in Creating an object and a
tile. Nothing fancy, but some general tips/tricks and cheats, that I
find useful when working on things in Max. These should apply to Gmax
or 3dsMax as both offer the same sorts of options.

               Also the HarvestMoon - Create a New tile or New Object  links into the middle of the thread.  I do not know if that was intended.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_ShadowM]

               Ok updated with the changes. Yes I should of asked what the new topic name should be, do you guys want it to have the exact same name? I thought that might cause some confusion. Moved The harvest moon to end.

               The title of the new thread looks good to me.   I just think this thread, being an old and or seguestion spot thread could use a  title update.    Right now the titles are so close it is had to tell them apart.  

So just append  (old Thread)  or something to the end of the title of this one.

** You can change the title of a thread when you edit the Original Post.
