very nice tutorials there, i also had a look at what lightwave can do and it looks like the type of software i could get used to and hopefully create some models for you as a gift for your help but first im going to need a few more things from use.

1. basic getting started tutorial (introduction to lightwave and its functions.
2. link to site where i can get lightwave for free trial if not free as i cannot afford anything massively expensive at this time but i would still like pricings on it.

as a favour i will create 3 (unskinned as i cannot skin yet) models of your choice (anything but humans and animals)
thanks for your help.
