3ds project & conform

Hi, i was wondering if there was some kind informative person out there would guide me on how to best use the projection/conform tools in 3ds Max (or some other function, or even other software) to create a replica of other 3d models I've made in primitives that are compatible with sculpted prims.
I've succeeded with using the conform tool on an organic shapes like a vase but I'm wildly unsuccessful on things with many edges eg. a ladybug or diamond. It seems that neither projection nor conform come close to wrapping correctly to edgy models.
Any help is welcome!

Hi Eros!,

I think it would be quicker to remake your stuff from scratch. You'll get better results too!

But Chip Midnight has posted a little tutorial about the projection thing in 3DS Max. It should still be in the 'Building Tips' forum in somewhere.

I think the only time a conform tool is useful is when somebody wants to model something like a human head and they can't do it themselves. Some might say that this would be cheating, but whatever... Some people just want a model of a human head, they're not necessarily wanting to be the next Michelangelo!.

Thanks 2K,
I've used Chips awesome tutorial, however I'm having trouble tweaking it as with some objects it gets bazaar results?
Also your tools are awesome!
