AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, Not Max!!!!LOL

Max is okay, I did a short course using Max, but then I went and learnt............. Lightwave, AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Thats worse cos you have to relearn terms and phrase cos they dont use SubDs they have MetaNurbs and they dont have SplitPoly tool they have a vicious Knife tool and they WELD vertex not Merge Vertices ugh!!!
But I redeemed myself and I'm okay now!!!!!

Haha, ya. I had a short stint with lighwave. I never heard of a one point poly until that program. Isn't that just a piont or vert? If you hit that tab button at the wrong time and your models explode. I loved the renders but the program seemed a bit clunky to me. I want Maya back. I do not know why they would teach max first. Maya is considered higher level and I will admit it is harder to get a good render. Maya is just layed out why better. All your modifiers are orginized by what they work on and the UV tools in the stock program cannot be beat.
