R-6,
It is only harder if you are not familiar with most of the tools in Lightwave. If you are familiar with Bandsaw Pro and Edge tools, than you are about half way there, even though there are alot more to use in different way. These tools are the one's I keep as shortcuts along with select loop, removeX, weld average, and all the basic shortcuts too:
bevel
smooth shift
strech
rotate
etc
etc
Try a free tut on Maya and see, if you are comfortable with Lightwave. The major difference I see from MAYA and Lightwave is how the Subpatch division is approach from the modeler's point of view, so you have to think how would I do that in Lightwave.
Cheers,
Promethius
