Hello everyone,

I'm so new to 3d it's a joke. I started with the Ocean tutorial but it seems really complex. I can follow along but I'm not sure why I'm clicking here or there and what the reasoning is behind the choices Philip is making.

I would like to do simple modeling and lots of animation and surface texturing. Frankly at this point I'm just not getting the big picture yet.

Are there any tutorials about the basics of LW and 3d modeling and animation? something that would explain the relationships between the tools etc?

Thanks in advance. If anyone cared to list a course of tuts to be taken in order, I think thats just what I need.

Regards and happy holidays
