ok im planning on makeing a fully detailed stargate in maya and there is a few things i need to know for one how do i make a squared off ring(i made a torus witch started out lookin like a donut stretched it out to the size and everything but the inside and outside of it are still rounded) also i need to know how to add specific detail to an object(like letters for instance) and make them come off the object a bit. its kinda hard to explain but if im able to add a pic here you will see what i mean
