I see so many movies where scenes have been created in Max, and I look and go "wow.i have that texture"..or "wow, i can re-create that" ..etc etc....I have done a number of Star War scenes, although I cannot yet animate. I have seen others more proficient then myself create entire Star Wars animated trailers, and you'd swear it came right out of the Studios themselves. Working with Max gives me a whole new dimension to watching movies..i get the appreciation of just how much work, how many thousands of hours, have gone into the creation of just one simple "fly by" scene. It amazes me!
