I am looking for some tutorials on UVW Unwrapping complex objects in 3ds max (I'm using Max 8)...if anyone knows of anywhere where I could find one of these, please let me know.

Fantastic tutorial videos:

You'll want to check out Low Poly Character Series: UV Layout One and Low Poly Character Series: UV Layout Two. I used these when I was in school- Really helpful tutorials!
