Well iv tried before to us Lightwave 3D but cant, so this morning im trying 3DS Max 7, I have never used it before so I dont know any shortcuts or anything, anyway the biggest noob question of the day is:

How do I move around in the 4 box's? I know how to do it in Lightwave but in max im not sure? When I mean move i mean as in look around etc... kinda thing.

hard to explain, if someone could help it would help me :P:P

the 4 boxs i mean are in the pic below:

:lol: Easy mate, first of all, I'd read the tutorials. The first one covers all of moving around in the viewports ;)

Really. Do it. ;)

If not, you lazy bastard, look at the bottom right hand corner... you'll see some tools that look like a hand, an arc rotate kind of tool, such things. Experiment with those. Right click inside a viewport to make it active. It will then have a yellow border.

Read the tutorial. Its only one. ;)
