Hi Oleg. Are you still interested in models of French cars?

[HenFre]

Just had a look at the Autodesk website and I could not find anything about a free download of max 5.1. Could you be more specific SaQSoN?

Max 5.0 into 5.1 update:

[HenFre]

Yes offcourse Thank you very much. Now I just have to learn the interface of Max and then I'm ready

[SaQSoN]

Good luck, then.

Thanks SaQSoN. Learning the interface of Max is quite a challange, but there are a great number of really good tutorials on the internet. So I will hopefully be just as capable with Max as I am with Lightwave in notime..

HenFre, very nice model. Your last comment caught my eye.

I've been doing 3D modeling as a hobby only about 4 or 5 years, pretty much with 70$ modeling and mapping knock-off tools. I've reached their limit (inefficient memory use) and purchased Lightwave 9, but I'm completely lost.

If you could spare some time after you've settled in on your current goals, could I pick your brain? I'm doing the B24 internals at

It's for a pretty weak game engine, but the engine is at least a vehicle to get me going. The project has been stalled for over two months. I'm self-taught and have really hit a wall.

Good luck on the car.

Hi Buster_Dee. Nice looking cockpit you have made

I am myself only a hobby modeler and also got started about 5 years ago. I have been working with Lightwave all the time and I have learned how it works by doing a lot of tutorials.
Don't know if I have the right brain to pick Haven't really gotten my work into any gameengine as of yet and now I have to go back to basics with a new 3D program..

But you have bought the best 3D program ever. Its very easy to learn and the setup of the whole package is very logical. You will have no trouble getting out great looking models like your cockpit and Lightwave will make it easy to manage.. Good luck..
