Are there any Modeling tutorials on The little Frog "The Annoying Thing" out there with LightWave that I can purchase?


Thanks,

Not that I'm aware of - so I doubt there are. You may want to try a basic character modelling tutorial first then move on to something like The Annoying Thing.

This should give you at least some idea on the construction though:

Fallen-

Thanks again for all your help. I will take your advice and take one step at a time, but please know I ask for these things because I only want inspiring things to keep me reminded that one day I will be just as good as those before me but always give credit to those at all times. Like you you have now become a friend too me, simply because you help me in my path of learning rather you know this or not.

So again Thank You.

You're welcome. One thing I would advise for you if you're starting out. When you are doing a tutorial; that counts for any tutorial; what you need to focus on is the methodology being used - which is surprising because a lot of tutorials out there may just be saying "Do this, do that, do the other" - and you're just rote following. At the end of the tutorial, you may have learnt how to use some basic tools and gotten a nice render of a car/plane/whatever it is that the tutorial is about but afterwards, what you need to do is go away and try to do something yourself. Don't just look at what the tutorial says, dig deeply into it and ask "Why are they doing it this way as opposed to any other way" "What technique is this that they're using" - Make notes if you can and if you have time, try making a similar object or doing a similar project with what you've learnt. You may end up going back to the tute to just go over things again, but the main thing is to put your effort into learning rather than just rote copying. Approach it with the thought that you want to explain it to someone else afterwards - it'll change your attitude to the tutorial and make you learn it a lot better. Oh yeh, and feel free to make mistakes but just make sure you learn from them.

Best of luck!
