gmax® is Discreet's free game development level editor based on the world's best selling 3D animation platform, 3ds max™. Game companies can extend the life of a game by creating and distributing gmax "game packs", which allow game players to create, customize, and trade game content online. It has a subset of features from 3ds max 4, including Polygon & Patch Modeling, as well as texturing and character building tools. You cannot render with, or write plug-ins for the free version of gmax.
-------------------------------------
It seems you cannot render with the free version...
Also by animations they could mean character movement etc etc, not actual movie sequences... For use in games...
But as said i dont know much about it...
As for teaching someone how to model... It's mostly try and learn and then try again to get better results... That's atleast how i do it...
Remember that old conestoga model, it2000 said it looked like a messed up screw :heh:
I'll go look for it....
Edit: I found it
Really deep in the library, As can be seen it isn't pretty...
But things have progressed, dont you think...

The moral of the story: Things look like crap when you start out but can end up good with a few years of practice...
