The topic basically says it all, I am in need of some good tutorials concerning spline-caging and the surface modifier for MAX (9).

I would be very grateful if someone would kindly point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

    I think with max comes a turorial on splinecaging, Look at "Modeling -> Modeling a chess set -> Modeling a Knight", that explains it quite well :)

    Here's the easy explanation. Draw splines that connect with at least four points, then the surface modifier will work. My best advice for spline caging is to plan ahead very well, otherwise when you get to a certain point you get stuck with stuff that is 3 node and have to monkey around to get it to work, and then it never quite looks right.
