3ds max:
Perspective can be changed
Set desfault shading and edged faces
Shortcut f4
alt and middle mouse to rotate view (also use view cube)
orbit subobject to rotate (to remove right click in empty space for most
tools)
middle mouse pans
ctrl, alt and middle mouse: presicion zooming
alt+w: maximise viewport
select tool: Q
Jam Q: change select

Angle snap tool: right click to change options
Focus: Z
Select and place: Y
Right click: editable poly
Modify list: edit poly
alt+c: cut tool (vertex)
cut tool: alt+c
Interpolation (champfer smoothing out an edge to create a curve)
The normal (Direction in which the pollygon is facing)
Boolean: (operation between 2 meshes)
compound objects, pro boolean, select shape
Lathe:
create, shapes, line tool, vertex, smooth, then lathe
if your lathe looks like a nasty mess open up lathe move the x axis
show end result
Interpolation steps is the addition of the vertex point between your
verteces
flip normals if inside out
vertex, refine
Sweep:
modify list, sweep
pick then line
material editor, modes compact
Materials:
Material editor: M
Modes, compact
Difuse: map that controls the colour of the material

Stitch: explode, flattern by polygon angle, select edge, stitch to custom
Quick Peel: Flaterns out uv
