Alright, so I skipped ahead and watched the boolean one and I have a couple questions.

My brain still works in the "Everything needs to be quads or tris or else shit goes bad fast" mode. Does that theory not apply in lightwave, or (Taking the first example you did, with the cyl through the cube) would I still have to go through and manually connect the points from the intersected cylinder out to the outer cube, and deal with all the fun geo things that brings up, or you know, gods forbid just go convert all to tri's and hope for the best.

That's kinda the problem I've always had when it comes to booleans. It's simple to set it up and so long as you don't have to actually do anything with the geo it's fine, but it's the clean up process to make it usable that becomes a bitch and a half.

Just in case, I should say, I'm thinking like 6 steps down the line here, like when it comes to pulling out the UV's, rigging, and actually texturing and rendering the thing.

/It feels weird talking about this in a thread called Lightwave For Beginners

Well then I'll just shut the fuck up then shall I?

Greeeat.

Heh...that was meant to be read more lighthearted and self depricating than it came out.

This is awesome. Really should look into Lightwave or Maya. It all seems REALLY over whelming.

I'll take four dozen! (Gotta keep ahead of fireproof in the arms race)

I'll take 500. Not for clones of course. Who has clones?!
