Hi Guys,

My little rant here is about when certain aspects of Lightwave are going to be covered. I also subscribe to the Simply Maya and have always been impressed with the diversity of the tutorials. I feel however, that the Simply Lightwave site, should be called Simply Model, because that's about all that's ever covered. It's like being modelled to death. The car tutorial, the strat tutorial all stopped at the end of modelling and never carried through to the texturing ... well a couple in the strat, but big deal. When are we going to get tutorials on UV mapping and texturing an object using this and other methods. A model is totally useless without texturing. Why make more modelling tutorials when the old one's are still not completed. Or, how about a couple of short one's one UV mapping? This has been covered quite a few times on the simply Maya site and I know it's been around a little longer but heck, if I see another modelling tutorial on this site before some of the other areas that were promised in other tutorials are covered, I'm gonna need a bucket for the spew.

I have talked to the people who run this site and they ARE GREAT PEOPLE, but I had to get this out because it's been pi$$ing me off greatly for the past couple of months. I was hoping when the new help arrived that texturing and mapping would get covered, but oh NO, let's model another item or ten.

Well, I guess there's no question as to how I feel on this issue. NUFF SAID, and thanks for listening.

Don.
