Haha, ya. I had a short stint with lighwave. I never heard of a one point poly until that program. Isn't that just a piont or vert? If you hit that tab button at the wrong time and your models explode. I loved the renders but the program seemed a bit clunky to me. I want Maya back. I do not know why they would teach max first. Maya is considered higher level and I will admit it is harder to get a good render. Maya is just layed out why better. All your modifiers are orginized by what they work on and the UV tools in the stock program cannot be beat.
