ya... too many n00bs and too little gurus... because most gurus are busy with production and can't help us with our insignificant problems :)

I want to be a guru so bad, I would love answering questions but I am still a noob myself.

well you can probly answer questions to even newer newbies right now :D since you already know the basics mostly of LW... and i know nothing of it :D and plus... ur awake in this time zone... hehe

yeah I guess you are right, I got into flash so much cuz I knew it so well but with the new versions I am almost a noob again.

lol i have 500 dollars worth of training for flash... and i still hate it =\ :)

lol, it was fun at first, since I didnt know PhotoShop, or any 3DG progs, and I learned it myself, there weren't any tuts really at the time.

nod... flash is pretty fun i guess... taking that gif totally sux and it was only thing for every common person to make animations :)

Yeah it is also good for Web Apps, that is where I was strong in was the code.

ahh... yes actionscript, i heard you can get decent 3d effects with flash :D

Yep, and it runs so well for the web. I bet in the further it will have OpenGL codeing.

have you seen some of the guru work of flash on the net? they're amazing it's like a 3d animation almost

Yep, i use to work with them at www.were-here.com. Some of the best were there and now the site is down :( They would write there own 3D Engines in Flash... very nice stuff

nod some of them just make me want to worship them lol but hell those animations mus take like years to make! :(

Yep, FlashKit had a tut on makeing a 3D Engine mainly for the use of a 3D Cube, very complex if you havent taken Calculas.

i'm 14... calculus is a bit out of my league :D

I know what you mean, when I was 11 they wanted to redo my math classes to where I would learn Calc when I was 13! I was like no, I dont want all that hardwork... I was just a kid.

wow that smart huh? =\ i'm better with computers be it graphics or coding :D

Yeah but for every strenght, there is a weakness. If you have noticed I cant Read/Write well. I am strong in math, and so weak in english :(

i'm good in english :) 98.9% last term...hehe

good job, we have State Test and I got like a 70-80% and I worked hard to get that... and math I got 99%(there is no 100% what is with that? you got all right and you got 99%?? odd as hell :P).

may be there is an invisible question and you have to have heat sensor vision to be able to see the question :D

Ahh, maybe so... that maybe the key I need to score my 100% :P

ya... anyway... i need to learn how to render good with LW :) i suck

i am way out of my league here jesus

heh ya... now learn something :D

Well posting that isnt going to help :P
Just a month ago before I started posting here, I thought the same thing till I actually tried. So give it a shot and see what ya got.

ya try XSI i heard it's really cool on its rendering powers

Yeah I havent fooled with it yet... I want to get good at LW, then Maya then XSI... but I will give it to my friend, he wants to learn LW, but his dad wont let him have Pirate Software. XSI is kinda free.

only the EXP version is free :) and it doesn't have the cloth and fluid iirc

Yes, but that is all my friend can have openly :) I will give him lightwave anyways. His dad is wack, he is always searching my friends comp for porno, he cant have a life :P

On-Topic: I relized you make these pics quickly? Since you are always posting new ones ;P

lol ya :D anyway... there are almost free versions of every package out there...

3dsmax - gmax
lightwave - demo
XSI - EXP
houdini - apprentice
maya - PLE

really, eh I will get em then, are they Trail Versions?

yes all of them are trial version and houdini being the only one with COMPLETELY no missing feature what so ever

so XSI has missing features huh? well time to find the full thing :p

they all have missing features except maya :)

Well I got Maya already, so that is all good :p

i rephrase that... they all have missing features except houdini :D

I am scared of Houdini :p, but I am going to get it like in a month or so. Just to take a peek.

ya the houdini apprentice has everything the full houdini has so it's great to try :)

Hmm interesting. I just dont like how you said I couldnt use much of my LW skills with it.
