What are you favoured programs - 3ds Max & Lightwave?  Likeiwse, is it possible to use TrueSpace or 3d Exploration to create a decent render?

I ask as I'm hoping to finish some of my new models soon, and be able to include some ani's for the briefing in the finalised files for them   .  Sortof a bonus pack

[Setekh]

Yes to TS and 3DX, though I now use something different - they are good alternatives for rendering.

3ds max and lightwave I'm still learning, but I love Bryce.

[aldo_14]

I'll have to learn TS properly then  

Hmm - the otuput for an animation would be AVI, wouldn't it?  Is there a decent freeware program for extracting frames from video formats?

Darkshear wants me to get lw 6.5, so he can teach me to 'use a good modelling proggy'

currently I used 3DS max 3.0

You can render to BMP in TS.

Indivivdual frames?    (hope so).  Might try and nick some images from the Colossus construction vid if I can for my frigate

Is darkshear gonna get a class together? I have 6.5  

Shrike, if you ask nice enough, it'll be Snipes' favour #1

Would it be presumptious to guess that your communications filter doesn't want the rest of us plebs to know what that something is?

Hmm...a class...you know...I know about 12 - 15 people who want to learn...

I might have to put something together for like monday evenings...or sometime...like on IRC, and just sit down and teach you all how to use it...

It would require everyone having Lightwave 6.5 and a copy of Adobe Photoshop....

If there are enough interested people I might do that...

[Shrike]

Interesting.

[DragonClaw]

 Mememe!!

I've got 6.0... when i go to 6.5 with an update it totally messes up... dunno why....

I also have Adobe Photoshop 5 L.E.

And i have IRC!

I don't really care if you know ( ), but I'm just tired of explaining (thank Thunder for that one  ).
