Creating my name in 3D Studio Max

After a frustrating hour of trying to get to grips with 3D Studio Max, I finally created a masterpiece! (well, i'm proud of it!)
This is what I got:






I made this by using the "Ransom" font and writing my name. I extruded the letters, then placed a star on the top right corner, so it looked like a "glinting" effect.

I then used a ripple effect to make it more 3D like.
