Instead of a nice girl like in tut, got Shaquille O'Neal.
 When converted to poly or mesh, tons of vertices appeared (why?), had to edit as a patch. Mesh smooth did not work well either because of it. Is there a way in Max to stop a process, if I know I’ve made a mistake? (Ctrl+Alt+Delete doesn’t work)

that is a lot.
2 ways 1. select object and hit 7 on your keyboard. 2. frome the create tab move the mouse over to the hammer icon that is the utilities tab there should be a Polygon counter, if it is not there you can click the more button and add it. you mean http://www.3dtotal.com/team/tutorials_2/te.../terrain_01.asp (links are easier to use btw) this is a great time to create a normal map and cut your poly count by a couple of 00's unless you are making a Hollywood movie you don't need a crazy poly count like that. you can find a max 3dsmax.chm or a tut in 3dsmax_t.chm to find out how. or in a vid but you don't really have to make a model smaller like they say. but if you dont mind rendering millions of polys forget what I suggest.
