concidering model software upgrade : need advice!

[rattle]

Upspring tesselates any model that isn't upon saving, and it's not synchronous...

[Machiosabre]

synchronous! master of time! destroyer of ages!

[Argh]

Ok, then I'm wrong on that. Still, nothing terrible about using Lightwave.

Still think Hoi should just spend very little money on software right now, other than maybe getting something that makes uvmapping a little easier. Spiked uses another app., UnWrap 3D (IIRC), which is also nice (and does a few things UVMapper Pro can't, and vice versa- I prefer UVMapper's interface, but it's just what I'm used to). A little money helping yourself make uvmaps better is a money well-spent- investing in a major 3D application is a major investment, in terms of time and money, so I'd strongly suggest waiting, Hoi, until you feel very comfortable with Wings and understand the workflow of making low-poly stuff first.

i'll try the uvmapper thing, at this point, wings is like a piano to me, i know what the keys do and now i need to start learning more, harder songs

[aegis]

do you play the piano?

[rattle]

Wings' internal UV mapper is pretty fine, much better than most others I've tried so far despite the lack of tools other programs have (like target weld).

[Hoi]

do you play the piano?

yeah, and i'm pretty good

[aegis]

can you read music?
what is the hardest song you can play?

[Hoi]

well, its not that i'm really good, but i can do some stuff, a few of the coolest songs i can play would be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjA5faZF1A8 but on piano, i can also play super mario theme for lolz, and i can read music, it should be the first thing to learn when starting to play piano

[aegis]

I actually play completely by ear, so your comment about learning to read music is irrelevant

I'll link me playing the latest song I learned in a sec

[Hoi]

it should be the first thing to learn when starting to play piano

when you start you can't play by ear yet

[aegis]

the first song I learned to play was Für Elise

by ear

[Hoi]

rofl thats the first I learned to, never got to the left hand, i maybe i'll go learn them tommorow
when i started i coudnt play by ear, but now I'm getting better at it

[aegis]

there is a big difference between playing by ear and learning by ear

and if you can only play one hand, there's normally no point to playing the song

[Hoi]

indeed

and if you can only play one hand, there's normally no point to playing the song

not really but it's just the song i begun with and after some time stopped learning, becaus i wanted to do a diffrent one, i can do left hand i just never finished it for this song but maybe i will later

e: learning by ear should be easy for everyone, if youve heard the song, playing by ear is something diffrent.

Right, but you're still playing the same "piano."

unless you only have one hand >_>
