ACFF2		 Advanced Lighting - Light Tracer.
3ds max 5 has new Advanced Lighting features such as the Light Tracer. In this exercise, you’ll use a Skylight and Light Tracer to add realism to an outdoor scene. This is an intermediate level tutorial. You should be familiar with standard lights and shadows in 3ds max before doing this exercise.

 Modeling a Flat Screen Monitor .
In this exercise, you will create a model of a flat screen monitor from an ordinary Box object. Its low polygon count will make it suitable for use in a real-time 3D video game.

maxaudi		 COMPLETE GUIDE FOR BUILDING THE AUDI TT IN 3D MAX 5.1 .
This tutorial is for 3D Studio Max 5 and for other versions, please see the Discreet Documentation. This tutorial is medium as difficulty. It took me about 100 hours to finish the car, and 100 more to write this tutorial.

 Modeling an Aircraft.
So you want to build a plane in 3D Studio Max. First you will need to do some work before you even open up the software. This tutorial is fairly extensive, some steps are for those more inclined to thoroughness and could be skipped

 Lofting.
One of the first modeling techniques that most MAX users learn is lofting. Almost all of us know the basics -- a path, a shape to loft, then you click a few options and there it is. But sometimes the object doesn't turn out the way you expect it to. This tutorial explores some of the quirks of lofting.

shockfin		 Shockwave Tutorial.
This time around I will show you how to do a pretty good looking shockwave effect not using plugins. So start max up and create a tube object with radius 1 -70 and radius 2 about 50. Set the height about .6 or .7 high as we want this to have some depth. Also give it about 70 sides.

smoke		 Smokin 1 - Basic 3dsmax Particles.
This tutorial is designed to cover the basics of particles, essentially creating smoke using spray. Later on I will write a more in depth tutorial on covering this subject since there is so much to cover, such as using super spray and paaray, and how to create fire and giant hell like explosions.

splash		 Plug-In Tutorial.
Plug-In Basics: The Splash plugin consist of two main types of objects:

Pool - the water area where the action takes place. It is situated in Create/Fluid Mechanics panel. After creating it you can change the mesh Density (the greater density the smother ripples will be) and other parameters which will be described later.

Stones - the objects that fall or move in the water. They are in the Helpers/Fluid Mechanics panel. There are two types of Stones: Impact Stones (I-Stone) and Wake Stones (W-Stone). I-Stones lets you to make splashes and ripples on the water when something falls into the water. W-Stone is a helper that can be linked to an object that moves on the water surface (water crafts, ships, boats, animals like ducks or swans and others) and make wakes that are left after the floating object.

rockettrail		 Rocket Trails .
For this tutorial i used : APE (All Purpose Emitter from Sisyphus Soft.) so if you don't have it,you can't do this tutorial. But you can do nearly the same with standard particles system from Max

waterfire		 Water, Fire and Smoke Effects Using Particles and Opacity Maps .
This is by no means a new technique, in fact, I saw it being demoed at the Kinetix booth at Siggraph, but people have asked several times how I create my smoke and water effects. So here's a quick tutorial discussing the concepts, and a max file you can download that has all three examples.

sss		 Explosion using Geometric/Deformable objects .
Durring this tutorial i will trying and show you how to make a really basic explosion using Geometric/Deformable objects in max v4. The frist thing you need to do is creat an environment. A basic plain, some objects, and a main object that will act as the exploding object. I like my exploding things to be glassy, so i made a crystall ball (see crystall ball tutorial) and placed it in the middle of my prepective view.

shockw		 Shockwave.
This tutorial shows how to make decent looking shockwave (I know that this isn't nothing if we compare this to some movie effects). I used three plugins: animated glow, superglow and particle+ (you can do it without any of those plugins, but it WILL look very bad). I assume that you know basics of 3D Studio MAX.
