Request / Idea?
 

Hi guys,

Having a look around the site and getting the emails has prompted me to make a request. I know that the content and the skills are different, but it would be great to see some cross pollination of the tutorials on the site. By that I mean I would love to see tutorials such as the Apache on the SimpyMaya site replicated for Lightwave. I wonder if anyone using Maya has seen a Lightwave tutorial they would love to do.

Now I know that if you know your tools well enough you could just adapt the tutorial yourself, but for newbies (me ;-)) that are just starting to get familiar with their toolsets and their skill levels it would be great to have purpose written material. anyway, just a thought. (I really love the look of that chopper).

Oh, yeah almost forgot. Thankyou so much for putting this site together and making quality tutorials available. There aren't many sites that teach skills. There are plenty that show you how to build x using y tools and reproduce an item, but not to take a skill, adapt it and use it on you own material.

Regards

actually, it's quite doable, if you've done some models in your software before.

I'm a noob myself, and currently working on the jedi starfighter model from simplymaya, modelling it in lightwave.

so far I found no real big problems.
lightwave doesn't use nurbs, but sub-d's ( on the tab button ), that's the biggest difference I've found so far.

I find it a learning experience, and that's what matters anyway;)

Thanks for that. I might think about it. I am working on some household stuff at present for another project and I am doing a model of Serenity in what little spare time I have. Once I am through those, I might give it a bash. If nothing else, it will add exposure to working with other tools etc I imagine.;)

I'm assuming you've seen the Lightwave Serenity tutorial.....

You bet. Treybor is king! Actually having loads of fun as I don't have vertibevel and my polys were all set up wrong so when I started stencilling... Well, let's just say I redid my original model a couple of times;-)
