Thank you very much for replying. One other question. I've purchased DVD's (video tutorials) from Autodesk's eStore. They are quite good but cover a lot of advanced techniques. Have you thought about doing the same thing but only cover the basic fundamentals of 3dsmax. You had done some a while back for 3dsmax5 which I refer to quite often. There is a lot inside 3dsmax and sometimes having someone demostrating the proper steps is more informative than reading a book cover-to-cover. For example: "3ds Max Beginner’s Crash Course" that was done for Autodesk MasterClasses by Amer Yassine. http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=7344250&linkID=7161306 I know that this would help me a lot and I would buy it up in a second. Thanks again for your time. -Leonard from Canada (a big fan)
