Lightwave Classes TONIGHT at 6 pm EST

Ok, I am glad more attention is going towards the Graphics section rather than D2.

ya d2 is just... well... there's no nice way to say this... GAY!

I use to LOVE d2, I preordered it.... thats how long I have had it. The constant laggs/dupes/bugs now is just beyond the limit that I can have. I just use it to learn about cheating :P I still and will never use a bugged item. *Sell* one, maybe

can we get back on topic guys? what lessons would you guys like to have anyways?

I would just like to learn the tools, what they do, and what they are used for in general.

well me and chruser are planning to release tutorials (video for me and web for chruser) to explain everything about the programs

hehe, videos will own, that is the best way for me to learn. I have a hard time reading tuts, but I do anyways... since that is my easier/widest resource.

yup i will try to get together with chruser as soon as possible and record some

Sounds great, if I ever get good enough, I will help you guys... I love makeing tuts, and if I made a video one, that would make it a lot easier.

try doing a package we don't know... like i dunno... rhino? or autocad? or XSI may be?

I have heard of Rhino, what is that? and is XSI that thing you posted about a free trail release?

XSI has a free EXP version meaning it cannot be used for production but can be used for learning the software, rhino is a not so popular but easy to use 3d package

I C, yeah I downloaded that XSI thing, I will check it out, if anything I can make my friend learn it and then teach me so I can work with LW and such.

well get in XSI because neither me or chruser knows much about it and many 3d schools are realizing its great power so..

hmm I should... I ran it once, didnt like the layout but I will test it out this weekend.

i never ran it that much, i had these video tutorials so i fired XSI up... but no luck =\

It seemed they put way to much time into the layout makeing it look nice, which I hate :P Also one thing I love about LW is that there is a Modeler and Layout this is both in one :P, but still I wont cover up its power with that.

=\ alot of people actually HATE the modeler and layout seperate =\ me for one

I dont, since I want to focus on modeling first then bring it into the layout... and with LW you can just hit send to layout... that easy :P

well the only thing i like about LW is the layer system... makes modelling architecture a singe
