I haven't heard much about the GMax program that Discreet has for free download. It practically is MAX made specifically for people who want to model characters, guns, landscapes (which we'd all do in Hammer), rops etc. If you are cheap like me and want a good program to use, I recommend it.
Anyway. When making a model, is generally recommended to make everything from one object and use extrude face etc, or can I use multiple objects for the same effect.
For instance, I want to make a sniper rifle with a massive muzzle brake on the end. Can I make the muzzle brake a piece and the barrel another, or is it recommended that I make them all the same?
