A really nice tutorial/discussion on the finer points of modeling. Very useful if you're having trouble setting up bones in your bipedal creatures, and just a good resource in general.
Surface Tools by Scott A. H. Ruggels This method of construction uses the native splines in Max, for the construction of "cages" that define the shape and volume of an object, and then use those splines to generate a surface, which is then converted to a polygonal mesh. Sound complicated? Well it's quickly becoming one of the most popular methods for constructing models.
Machinima Modeling Tutorials - part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6[2] by Machinima.com
A multi-part article and tutorial on making 3D characters and animations, speifically for use in real-time 3D engines such as the Quake series of engines.
