Just got Lightwave and I think I need a degree in rocket science or quantum physics to figure out the menu options… Here is my first render, I know it’s crap…but it’s not an easy program to use, got to get used to the layout…Anyone else uses Lightwave, knows good rookie tutorial sites? ---

Oh yeah I would not go to SimplyLightwave. The people there are not very cool. And their tutorials are highly overpriced considering the alternatives. [www.3dgarage.com](http://www.3dgarage.com) has some nice dvd’s [www.splinegod.com](http://www.splinegod.com) larry schultz has some good stuff there as well. Oh and how could I forget [www.3dbuzz.com](http://www.3dbuzz.com) free videos there. ---

Well, it seem’s that DDD has posted some of the links that i have. lol… good luck… and as DDD said “dont get discouraged” at the begining all seems very confuse, but with time you be able to do some nice stuff.
