Default Can it be done!

Hey All,
New to forum. I have a interior render project due in about a month. Do you all think it would be possible to learn lightwave v9 and complete about half of an interior render of a store. Not too complex just the walls, ceiling, countertops and some table and chairs. I went to lightwave because I was told it can import 3d items from google warehouse which is possible would save a lot of time. I have a design background but nothing with 3d programs. Please let me know your thoughts.
-Luis

Now that all depends on you. I wouldn't recommend trying that in a production situation unless you have had previous experience with it. If you are pretty savy in dealing with different 3D applications go ahead and experiment, but sometimes the differences between them can really trip you up. It is easy to get confused with the different commands to get the same thing done.:p
LW will open files with the .obj extension on them or you can get an app that will translate your files into the appropriate format you want to use, however; as always, they might need a bit of tweaking to look right.
