Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

SP3 for XP is out and it is great
it increases speed by about 10%
you can really notice the difference

with it xp is now said to be twice as fast as the rubbish dump that is vista

I have vista 64 bit, and its not slow on my rig... idk why ppl cry about it... the ONLY problem i have with vista is that my 5.1 speakers dont work in it, but SP1 is gonna fix that.

What is an SP anyway? Is it just a big update you download?

Its an update that you get (kinda like apple with the 10.X updates but there free and you dont get lots of pretty little things to play with, just mainly maintanace extra drivers, security updates)

Does that SP3 only come with 32bit? Or does it come with 64bit aswell. Or can you just download S3 by itself...

Atm, im running XP 64bit SP1 version.(funny thing i havnt had any BSOD's yet with the 64bit version, YEEPEE!)
