| Hey all who read this. My name is Stuart Shortland and im based in the Taunton PB office here in the UK, i have been using Autocad for 2D work and also some psuedo 3D, but i really want to get into 3D visualisation and modelling. I have spoken to a few people and they have pointed me in the right direction to get started. Just wanted to come and say hi, and im sure i will be posting lots more in the future. Stuart

| Thanks for the warm welcome, just to give you an idea of where i am with 3D viz stuff, im currently reading through the AutoDesk 3D Studio Max Getting Started/Help manuals, but they total over 6000 pages :O, im currently on about page 150 so i have a long way to go. I will probably sit down on my computer at some point and just have a play with the software soon enough just to see what all the tools do. I hope that i can learn alot from yourselves here and to further a career in 3D viz.

| User Manual: Yikes! My only advise to beginner Max users is to start work on a "project" of your choosing and don't let it sit for more than a week. Ask lots of questions and try different modeling techniques for the same object. I've had the pleasure of teaching Max Essential classes and am always a little dissappointed when the students aren't able to continue to use Max. Most of them forget everything they learn. Make it part of your RYP and set a number of hours per week that you would like to work in and explore Max. If you want to make visualization a career goal, then there are some other avenues we can explore to get you the right training. This site is a great starting point for posting questions. The user base ranges from beginners to advanced Max users and all of us are experienced in Civil visualization.
