I am interested in taking my current career as Photoshop operator(screenprinting color-separations)into the 3-D realm of design.
My initial foray for info has me at a choice between what most say are the 2 leading 3-D programs,LW6 and 3DSMax.
Any thoughts from those in the know would be greatly appreciated?Hmmm-what are AH models created in? Superfly?

By-Tor, well i know Lightwave 6 & 3dsMAX 3.1 very good
(working with MAX at work). Both are very strong 3D applications.
You can't say who is better, both have theire strenght & weakness.
We using both, Lightwave 3D 6.0 and 3dsMAX 3.1 at work.
But if you planing to work in the games developing scene, i would
suggest to learn MAX. Soon there will come GMAX, read this
article about: http://www.stomped.com/published/jcal9663830321.html (http://www.stomped.com/published/jcal9663830321.html)
I use MAX mainly for animating Humans & Animals with the
MaxBones system. But you can do same in LW, especially with
LW6.0 & Messiah plugin. Both Apps are also good for modelling.
I read somewhere HTC using Multigen for modelling.
Another question is the Price ($), MAX cost's aprox twice then LW.
By-Tor if you have more questions you can write me an email.

LOL Vulcan,
Looking back at my topic heading,I suppose I'd have concluded the same (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Thx for the info GhostFT, and I will indeed take you up on the offer of answering some questions that I'm sure will arise as I dig deeper into the 3-D realm.Yes,Gmax looks very promising indeed.Great way to get some training while saving up for the big 1!
Cheers,
