Are there any videos on how to make a small game using Max? I mean is it only done in Max or are there other things used? I am a newbie in game programming.
Answer
3DS Max is a 3D modelling tool. There are several video tutorials available all over the internet (of varying quality). However, you can't make a game just using Max -- all it does is modelling and rendering. You'll need to use something else entirely, or at least something else in conjunction with Max, in order to make a game.
Blender is a similar kind of modelling tool that does have a built-in game engine that can be used. It's also much cheaper than Max (because it's free). There's lots of documentation and educational material on Blender's website and elsewhere on the internet. You may also want to consider looking at Unity. There are several other game construction tools available as well.
You could also teach yourself to program -- I'd recommend Python as a first language, if you choose to do this. This will give you a lot of control and flexibility in the games you create, but it will involve a much steeper learning curve (for example if you choose to go this route you'll likely be learning to develop very simple text-based games for some time before you are ready to tackle the complexity of 3D graphics and loading 3D models and scenes exported from Max).
