hi everyone!

Im kinda new to 3ds max and i was wondering, does anybody know where i could learn the basics other than 3ds max helpfiles???

Oh.... and does anyone jknow where i could learn about UVW mapping, because i can make materials for basic objects (not as basic as a sphere or a cube... a bit less basic) but not for complex objects

Thanks

the max help files are pretty good, they go through almost everything finish those and your set to go.
any way these may help as extra reference:

and most definitely the one and only T.

as i said the help files contain almost everything you need to know.

Yep, go through the help files.

However, don't do the tutorials in the help files, then make a demo reel out of them.

My GF has just started max on our uni course, I bought her . Its amazing, she's been working through it and she's rocketing ahead. It covers the basics/ intermediate-ish of everything, and the tutorials are exciting !

Good luck!
