Hi Braddon, I think to recall David Gould works in Paris, maybe you could ask him if he would like to give some lessons…. Good luck Michael

<<I think to recall David Gould works in Paris, maybe you could ask him if he would like to give some lessons….>> That's right, I'm starting the "3DS French Connection" where overseas people come and visit and explore the finer details of 3DS while munching on baguettes and patisseries. I've organised portable excursions where we load up the portables and head off to some of Paris's best monuments for some great rendering sessions. Remember to bring your torch for the session deep in the catacombs. At the end you get a badge and t-shirt inscribed with "Pixel pushing in Paris" <g> David "I'm genetically coded for coding" Gould

<<Does anyone know of anywhere in Paris that I could WORK, INTERN, or take CLASSES in 3D Studio? I will be there this spring through ?>> As for taking classes, I suggest you read all the tutorials, then the reference manual, then Inside 3D Studio, then complete some of the NAUUG courses and then voila you will have an intimate knowledge of the program. This "self-training" course is much cheaper and reaps more sustained returns than completing a single course. Remember the 3DS motto "Persistence and practise!" As for coming to Paris, check my e-mail message. <<and prefer to speak English.>> Il y a peut-etre un probleme la. While most large computer graphics companies here deal with english-speaking clients the majority of Parisiens prefer to speak French, just like the majority of Americans prefer to speak English <g> David "Interim intern" Gould

Dave: I'm a devoted user of Autodesk products. Mainly Designer (that's 3-D solids modeling). I'm really considering 3-D Studio, but I'm concerned about the cost. My concern is, I wonder if all this advanced training in 3-D will actually pay off in the long run. Hope for your reply, George
