The one on Steam is not the latest one, still a good place to start though

Eeeep... $135 is a bit much for me right now... Thanks though... I'll still play with Hexagon... I'm learning it... bit by bit ;)  Got a few things in the works for the FA Holiday Gifts page this November and December... but... in the mean time... summer finally made it to Ohio and that means camping!  yay

You can follow some tutos by Micheus Vieira for Wings3d. Simple but efficient. For example that one is for Chritmas time

He is kind of the guru for W3D. All his tutos for that program are here

So, except for the FA monthly contest, I didn't do (and don't plan alas) to do a render this month to post.
The one below is from March, I only posted it last days on FA. IT's from my little story with toons.

Good one Agent about books and their journey... Wonderful way of looking at the challenge.  (thumbzzzzzzzzzz up!)

Was hoping someone would post an image this month with a book in use as part of the subject of the image. it was something a favorite teacher told her class when I was in school, and I took it to heart. Always was an avid reader from the time I first learned to read.


Interesting story about reading that I will tell you here.
Mom was a member of a mail order book club, and she got a set of encyclopedias (A-Z), and it came with another set of 10 books (produced by Colliers) that had several fictional stories in them plus several educational articles. I read every encyclopedia and every one of the ten bonus books cover to cover. By the time I was in the fourth grade, I had educated myself rather well. Granted, there were things I did not yet understand in each of those volumes, but there was a lot that brought me understanding as well. It was in the bonus set of books that I read "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass", my two favorite Fairytales.


One other thing I got into at that time was Comic Books. The first Comic Book I ever bought with my own money was "Spiderman 1", on the day it was first released. At that time, the Marvel name was not on the comics produced by that company, but the company did adopt the name later. I wish I still had that comic book in pristine condition, because "Spiderman 1" is the most valuable one for collectors of all time! If only I had known how much value it would gain through the years.

Llola, along with the tutorials mentioned by Aelin, you might also like those by David Brinnen. He helped my learn things about Wings3D I would never have discovered otherwise. He has a knack for figuring out ways to use the tools in Wings3D and in Bryce 7.1 Pro that can take your work to greater levels. I have learned a lot from him. He also makes his tutorials very easy to understand and follow.
Another person that has tutorials for Wings3D is V-ScorpianC (not sure if I got the spelling right on that). She also makes her tutorials easy to understand and follow.

Thanks Agent... This whole subject has DeJa Vue for me... lol.  Seems like we talked about all this a year or two back.  I still have the Wings3D loaded on my old computer which hubby now uses.  I'm sure all those tutorials are on it too.  I just don't have the time right now to learn anything new.  Maybe this winter... summer is here and we have camping/traveling to do... seems like other things are taking priority for me right now... I'm sure I'll dabble again.  Thanks one and all for your input. 

Last day for artwork... July starts tomorrow... I've only had time to post a render a day for Daz... I'm at Day #25... I'll post those when the contest is ended.  So for this month... I'm afraid I have no more postings.  Stay well everyone... See you in the July thread!!!  Hugzzzzzzzzzzz
