Reading up on Max has certainly helped me in getting to grips with the layout. Having that bit more understanding its beginning to make more sense. Little things like I thought 'shrink' and 'grow' was to alter the size of the object, but no, its to shrink or grow your selection of that object... Knowing my way around this software is key I think. Once I understand it more, I can concentrate on using the tools! But I'm feeling more comfortable now.

Had forgotten the settings for video output so had to dig out the basic vehicle tutorials from beginning of term. Going to copy these key reference notes up in writing and keep with me as my own personal help manual that I can quickly access to save time and maintain sanity!
