Model a Photorealistic Fire Hydrant in 3ds Max - Part 1a

In this 3d Studio Max tutorial, we'll be modeling a high poly fire hydrant. We'll look at how to manually add edge loops using the cut tool, so we can later extrude one cylinder shape from another, and also how we can re-work the topology, add support edges and make adjustments to minimize artifacting.

You saved from failing my class...seriously. Thank you for making a very clear and easy to follow tutorial. I will be recommending you to my classmates.

Cutting at 8:45 didn't work.
