Nice work digimatt you got the sink
Anyway, medusa when i started using lightwave i was just like you.. can't make anything except box and a ball... so i started reading and bought a book(inside lightwave 6), it helps me understand some things to get me going.... my point is reading and do alot of research in the net would help you alot. Specially if you have a site like this one (SimplyLightwave), giving free video tutorials.... what could we ask more?
cheers
