The LightWave Tutorial BLOGs and Reviews

To get back to the LightWave Tutorials on the Web Main Menu page simply click on the Main Menu button

 
From time to time I will be reviewing various tutorials.  Mostly they will be commercially available tutorials although if I see a sizeable tutorial that looks to be of particular interest (or if you see one that you think I should pay particular attention too) then I will review it as well.

I will try to not to pull any punches and will try to give you an honest opinion.  The way I will approach most reviews will be to ask one main question - Does the tutorial teach what it promises?

I've been a little slow in updating this as I've had a lot of other things going on over the summer but rest assured that I will get into this again this winter.

This is my first attempt at a Blog so bear with me as I refine the website layout.  A blog is a log of a project detailed and updated on the web.

Larry Shultz has been kind enough to provide us with our first victim, uhhh... set of CD's.  In this series I will be going through the tutorials and providing you with a running commentary as I do them.  I will not only comment on the tutorial but I will also show you my steps so you will get an idea of what to expect from the tutorials.  Hopefully you will get an idea what the tutorials are like and whether or not they are worth plunking down your hard earned greenbacks!

Feedback is always welcome.  You can email me at lightwaveblog@shaw.ca
