Sometimes you need your transform gizmo to be oriented in a certain way, other than the typical orientations, to perform operations like Move, Rotate, and Scale. Starting from Max 2023 we have this nice tool called Snap Working Pivot Tool, that allows us to do that, and it comes with multiple options to help us create and manipulate the working pivot point. Also, in addition to that, it gives us the ability to extract a construction plane out of the created working pivot. This tool is useful in many areas, like transforming objects, rigging, animations, Smart Extrude, etc,...

When you add fillets and chamfers to your 2D shapes, then add modifiers and start modeling, if suddenly you decide to adjust these fillets and chamfers it will be a problem. In this video, we will learn how to keep things parametric by using the Spline Chamfer modifier. This modifier also works on Sub-Object selections as you will see in this video. You will learn all the modifier's parameters.

In this tutorial, for total beginners, we will learn how to apply multiple materials to the same object, and starting from minute: 3:47 We will add a texture map for each of those materials, then, we will learn how to apply multiple UVW Maps modifiers to the object and have each one of them control a specific texture from those sub-materials.

In this tutorial, we will create a parametric infinite cube table and we will see how to keep some of its parameters parametric, meaning that, after making the main geometry, we can go back and change things in it. After extracting the necessary segments from a base chamfered box(used as a path), we will use Loft to make the main shape using a custom rectangle as a profile.
