Obviously it needs some black metal and plastic textures applied to it, but the model iteself is excellent. Did you design it?

naw, I was just wondering about how good it looks rendered and the render template I made as well, so basically I just got the model off a friend and he told me to render it, I am new at 3ds max, so I was wondering about all the tips and tricks from the pros ya know. And I thought who should I ask...techimo...

Lots of 3ds max oriented sites out there. Like all they do is this stuff. Id say ask at one of those forums if none knows here. I could post a linky or two if you need it. I dabbled in it. Found helpsites and read/used it some. But I never got to advanced stuff yet (playing with c++ too much). I do know that those sites are full of pro's though and tips from my research on 3ds max.
