How do I...

Make holes in like Polygons or Sub's?
Remove a texture from an object
know which object to start off with to start modeling.
Give an object lighting characteristics such as a headlight, or a lamp.
When selecting faces.. How do I not let the faces on the other side of the object to not be selected Almost like the object is transparent.
Move fire in a direction, and start a fire from a specific point.
Export my fire animation as a .mov or .gif
Make like a laser dot eye. ex. Robots Terminator
-TY for any answers.

Don't really want to know much eh??

Quite a few questions there, but here goes in a nutshell

1. Select face and delete, or use boolians

2. Hypershade, object in work area, right click display graph network, select arrow, delete it.

3. Dont really get what you mean

4. Create lights, spotlight.

5. You cant as far as I know

6. Depends on what fire your using (particles or fluids, but keyframe the emmiter/rate, use fields for movement

7. Have a look at the thread at the top of this section titles "HOW DO I RENDER A MOVIE"

To select faces so that it doesn't select any faces from behind, use this method.

at top of menu > Edit > Paint Selection Tool > option box

you can choose to paint faces you wanted selected or faces you want unselected by choosing the options available under this paint selection tool.
