A quick newbie question about starting to use 3dmax

[RaMp4ge]

Hey, i'm 16 and want to start getting into making models and skins with 3dmax, i currently have 3dmax 4.2 and the 3dmax 4.2 BIBLE, should i use this version of 3dmax to use the bible and after ive finished could i update my 3dmax to v6 and all the knowledge from 4.2 will still apply? also what other resources did you ppl use to help you along the way?

Thanks :cheers:

I think you should start with 6.0 and check the tutorials thread, it should help you. EVerything you have to know is there...
And yes everything should be compatible... maybe sometimes u will have to search some tools but this shouldnt be a problem
