Just starting off with 3dstudio Max, and was wondering if anyone could give me a few pointers.
I'm looking for tutorials on creating lighting type effects. ie. warped looking, textured backgrounds, with a focus on traveling light / energy waves type stuff. (as seen on onyro et al.). not looking to bite styles by learning this, rather sink my teeth into max, and get grounded.
Any tips, links to files / tutorials, etc. is more than appreciated.

One simple technique, as I'd guess his older stuff anyway, would be to create a tunnel, adding a texture to the tunnel walls.
It's mostly trial and error, and lots of patience - don't expect to make images like that overnight!Just start going through tutorials. The 4x4 series had some good tutorials for abstract stuff, as does some of the computer arts mags.

I don't really use it any more but lofting and boolean operations were the main things i used to make stuff. The tunnel suggestion is good for lighting, but i tended to just plonk them in. Yep, trial and error. Prepare for long nights.
