Here is another tutorial in 3D Studio Max. Though it is basic and simple but having very useful Modeling technique. Noise Modifier and MeshSmooth used to make these stairs, by using Noise Modifier you can create Water Effect, Bumpy Surface, Noisy surface etc. I’m also going to upload Source MAX file so you can check it by yourself.

2. Select the box and go the modifiers list and select MeshSmooth:

It will smoothen the box like:

3. Select the box and goto Modifier again:
