It sucks but it's my first. A few questions:

How do I do pretty good rendering, and how do I make polygons? I press 'p' but not all the poly gons are being made.

Once you know how to make vertexes, it's kinda like the ms3d Vertex system. I still don't know how to make a full polied model >_<

I made a long a$$ tutorial for modeling for beginners in lightwave, it's a sticky on the top of the fourms...incase you missed it here is a link (http://forum.esforces.com/showthread.php?t=51135). Anyway I hope it should help....It's hard to say just from that picture why you aren't making a polygon when youy press "p". Maybe you re, and it's flipped backwards, maybe you only have 2 points selected so it doesn't make a full polygon....or maybe you have the points on different layers, which confuses lightwave since it doesn't know what layer to put the polygon on, therefore it doesn't make one. Like I said it's really hard to say the situation from the information you have given, but maybe one of those will help you.

Also.......

Errmm....thats not spam, thats called a "question". Maybe you have
heard of them.... Anyway, lightwave is a secsi modeling program
like 3D Studio Max and Milkshape. But people who use it get an incurable
disease :(. Poor clipseh :(. He got HIV from applying a meshsmooth
modifier :(. He learned his lesson though.

d-k, I suggest you to search for or read some tutorials first, they'll have all the info you'll need, what you can do is adjust the "backdrop color"(you can bind a key for it or put it in a menu, read some tuts to see how it's done) and in the camera properties you can adjust the resolution and AA, and play with the lights a lil as well

Help:
1. when you make a 4-points polygon.. you have to select the points in a order
2. if the polygon is not shown after the polygon settelment (to do a polygon push "p" ) then flip it with the button "f" .... (but u have to go for that,onto the face-select-mode and select the faces...
3. if you got a half of one 4-point polygon flipped and the other not... then redo the polygon again or if you finished the model push "T" and then select the faces and flip um ^^

first, be in point mode of course. There are 2 ways from here, either click and hold the left mouse botton and hover over the point you want selected, ooor right click and hold and draw a circle around the point you want selected, I hope that is clear enuf, If you need any help jsut send me a message on AIM or MSN, I have been using lightwave for 2 years now, and am pretty familiar with it.

Lightwave is the program that he is using to make models with.
