HELP!! I am a 3D Studio novice who is proud to say that I have successfully completed the complete set of Autodesk tutorials, and DIGIMATIONS wonderful training tapes. I am a AutoCAD user of 5 years who has been lucky enough to make the trasition to 3d modeling for Architectural Visualization. Though I have yet to complete a project for my company (Crawford, Murphy and Tilly, Inc. – CMT-) I am frantically trying to get a grasp on this program. The tutorials and training tapes have got me going, but I need more. More examples, more how-to's. If anyone can suggest a book or tape or any words of encouragement I would be very grateful.

Craig The Inside 3D studio helped me alot. I have a similar background to you in that I used AutoCAD since R2.6 and went to 3D studio at R2. Also just reading the forum messages and trying to figure out what all the experts are saying. <G> Good luck and if you have a question post it to the forum and you will get all the help you want, sometimes more.

Craig: There is a really nice bit of architectural advice (and a really handy AutoLISP routine) in the book "3D Studio Special Effects" (New Riders Publishing). I'd recommend picking that up, in addition to "Inside 3D Studio 4". They should be available at most larger bookstores. Dave
