Those two suffice for almost any thing you want to model... lofting your whole project is not nessesarity the fastest workflow but you can :) so what are you guys waiting for? download them and start doing things! :)

[Acer]

Ok I am downloading these, what are they? Movie tuts?

[Randuin]

yes video tutorials :) for maya tho... so i dunno... i don't think i can make much more quality tutorials for LW :)

[Acer]

I watched them, the Revolve tool is the Lathe tool in LW.

[Randuin]

yup :) except that revolve has so much more power :)

[Acer]

What does it do more?

[Randuin]

didn't you watch the videos?

[Adrenachrome]

Robin make a thread with a list of tuts you have hosted and I'll sticky it for you.

[Acer]

I watched the vids.

[Randuin]

adrena... why don't you just do it? :D i simply can't remember all my tuts :D

[Acer]

You should just sticky one of your post, have it closed and just keep editing it while you add more to it.

[Randuin]

i can't close my own threads =\ or can i? :D

[Acer]

Well have Adrenachrome do it, if he wants. So it will be 1 post, no spam and have all your tuts you have made for found.

[Randuin]

well adrena could've just left me a PM and just went ahead and do it :D owell i'll record a couple of more videos and then make a thread

[Acer]

Yep, you know what we also need, someone really good at PS and start makeing Video Tuts on it. I really think knowing PS will help with LW, Maya, XSI, 3Dsmax etc.

[Randuin]

what do you want tutorial? i can probly do some i'm adequately good with PS

[Acer]

Well I dont need to know much about PS, but I feel like noobs will want to know. Just putting the idea out into the air.

[Randuin]

what do you want tutorialed? :D i'll make some

[Acer]

hmm textures maybe, that would help in my area.

[Randuin]

texture? there isn't really a good tutorial for that? =\ depends what texture

[Acer]

I mean, like metals, and such... you know what I mean? like wood, etc

[Randuin]

ah like release seperate serious of wood n metal? well i can probly try =\

[Acer]

Yeah I wasnt that good at makeing Wood, and metal I was ok at. I am also going to try and make Rust, Concrete, Copper etc.

[Randuin]

what i do is just take pictures of the real thing and apply the map... lol digital camera rulez :D

[Acer]

True, if my mom lets me use hers I will mess with that. I still want to make mine own so I have control :)

[Randuin]

well what i do is take picture and then manipulate... IE: add graffiti and so on

[Acer]

I see, but then you dont have full power.

[Randuin]

ya i do :) i get to see which pictures i take and basically use the healing brush so you see... i do have the full power :D

[Acer]

I guess in that way you do. I just like starting from nothing.

Maya has been pretty cool from what I have messed with. Nothing serious.

[Randuin]

:) glad you like it that way :D update me more once you find more features... :)

[Acer]

Sure thing, I am also learning PHP and plan to open a small site for my Art, where should a register a domain name?

[Randuin]

anywhere basically :D i have mine at www.maddog.com

[Acer]

I will check it out, thanks. I was thinking of makeing a Fully Flash site, but I just dont have time for that kind of work :p

[Randuin]

it's not THAT much work if your really good at flash :D

[Acer]

It is for updateing. I mean writeing a WebPage and keeping it updated it so much easier.

[Randuin]

oh yes definitely :) especially if you go PHP

[Acer]

yep, like for news I can have it read from a file and just change the file :)

[Randuin]

file? eeek use mysql dude much much much easier :)

[Acer]

I havent learn mySQL yet :P

[Randuin]

mySQL is so much easier than any other database i've ever encountered :D

[Acer]

well PHP has reading files, and it is so simple. I just use that till I learn mySQL.
