well, its been a couple of classes now, and im not liking 3dstudiomax any more than i did the first day, infact, its getting worse.
when i first began i thought, oh well, its different, ive used many different softwares but to me 3dsmax seems like a cross between autocad and flash cs.5, some of the features and dynamics are similar, but that doesnt make it any easier.
To be very honest my main problem seems to be timing during tutorials. the lecturer shows us something, but by the time i figure it out, and tune back into what hes saying, ive gone and missed like two steps to whatever object we were creating,
This happens several times and the lectuere is forced to show me ten more times before i finally just accept the fact ill do the tutorial later. granted im more than slightly behind on those already, but theyll be done.
Though it seems difficult, i believe it just needs a bit of getting used to.....ok alot of getting used to. but once i figure my way about the place a little more, and actually start remembering the baby steps at the start (note to self, remember to change the settings to mm everytime, otherwise it'll continue to bite me in the behind again and again) 3dsmax actually seems liek an amazing piece of software, not jsut for the cutlery, i mean for many things, its a software i doubt ill use again in school, but for other purposes and skill building, its deffinatly something id like to explore further when not under assesment. (ya know how sometimes things can seem easier when youre free to roam about and explore it, play with the software a little. its alot easier when none of it is getting graded)
So far ive noseyed around all the tools and know the basics....however me remembering them all isnt very likely.
ok folks, wish me luck with this one, it doesnt look like me and 3DSMAX are going to get along very well.
