How to Make Teapot in 3D Max

A greatly overlooked method in 3d modeling is displacement. Many newcomers to the wide world of 3d graphics attempt to model highly detailed geometry, either with standard poly-modeling techniques. Typically, in a sculpting software package, the artist is required firstly to model the object, and then manually sculpt enough detail into the object to make it believable. This method can become extremely tiresome, with copious amounts of effort required just to make it believable.
