Just picked up the new VTU- boy is it great to see all those tutorials and
"How To" articles!! THIS is what VTU should ALWAYS be like! TUTORIALS
TUTORIALS TUTORIALS! I love those tutorials. Keep up the good work!
Mike, Thanks for the kind words. "how to's" and tutorials is definitely the
direction VTU is heading. We just had a long editorial meeting today to
finalize 1995 editorial plans. Our goal is to have "at least" one tutorial on
LightWave, CG, AND ToasterPaint in every issue. Add those three tutorials to
the columns by John Gross, Brent Malnack, David Hopkins, and James Hebert, and
you can see we are going to try to really pack the hardcore Toaster-specific
info into each issue. Of course, this means we probably won't be able to
continue the tradition of tough-hitting investigative reporting that we are so
well known for 🙂 (see "Emperor has no Clothes" thread in this forum)

Here, here!
(or is that `Hear, hear!'?)
Just be careful, Jim, that you don't spread the current talent pool too
thin. It's hard to imagine that the same people can write for VTU, and
write for LightWavePRO, AND create animations round-the-clock for
seaQuest, Star Trek Voyager, B5, et al… at least, for the long term. So
far, they are doing gangbusters!

Sean,
I know, I know. When I met John Gross several years ago, he carried an average
weight of about 150 pounds. Since he started editing LW PRO (an doing all the
other things you mentioned) he's lost a lot of weight. Last time I saw him he
weighed about 75 pounds! 🙂
I guess you didn't know that John is not a mere mortal…he's a SuperHero!
Seriously, I do worry about John. Did you know he's also writing the new manual
for LightWave 4.0? I know John well enough and talk to him often enough to
believe that he will let me know when it gets to be to much for him.

P.S. I was only half-kidding about the SuperHero stuff.
Jim,
Just wanted to let you know of another reader that was _extremely_ pleased to
see the latest VTU looking more like the old ones!
