Got an exam coming up on this program on monday, im such a dunce at it, its 1hour and a half long time constrained, we'v got to design something on paper roughly and then go into the exam with the textures and make something, texture and render it etc and burn to cd withing the 1hour and a half, im just browsing online now for tutorials for things, im going to try and memorise some of them roughly and am cramming all weekend on it, just wondering if anyone has any favourite tutorials of there own that they think is do-able within an hour or so for a novice? Im looking to do a few then pick one to do then do it about 10times, towards the end from memory and timing myself

Thanks everyone, wow i love lightwave its pretty cool, im going to try and get into it. I already found that link you give me prince, its pretty good, ill check the others out for my final assignement which is due in a few months time, for my time constrained exam tommorow im going to make a football, it looks good, is quick etc, Im going to make custom textures for it today and then learn howto animate it etc, maybes put some sounds into the final render too. Spot on.

Im well happy with it, nothing to hard, nice simple and easy, very effective though Im going to keep trying to make things, I might try making something from Battlestar Galactica =) haha, theres loads of star trek tutorials, but thats just plain sad if you ask me
