Gamespace

Ok with all the stadiums going up

anybody want to do a tuturial on Gamespace so I can make some also.

That would be great. I tried messing with the demo, but really didn't get vary far. I had the Game Space Light demo so I don't know what the differences are. I would love to make my own stadiums so I wouldn't have to ask Local8h to make them for me.

Hahahahahahaha

I tried GS light also Rhino
talk about confusing but to be honest GS light isnt good enough to make a good stadium
you can only build a very very small one

to build one even anywhere close to that of Gil's (if we had the talent)
you have to splash out on gamespace full edition, but at $300 its a little off putting
especially if you buy it and then cant use it.

I have been 3D modeling for a while, mainly in Blender(awesome free program) and Lightwave( not free[:(] ). Caligari products and their wacky menus have been kicking my butt for a while as I try to poke around and figure it out. Why there isnt a readily available manual for it is beyond me. Probably an anti piracy thing.

Anyway, here is a page with some tutorials. Not sure if they are complete beginner tutorials, but poke around in them enough and they may help you figure out the menu system.

Honestly, I would recommend to anyone that they at least sit down for an hour or so, every so often and try to learn one 3D program. Im no mental giant, but I am 'decent' in Blender. And while all the programs have some differences, modeling is modeling. Once you have an understanding of it, it's a matter of learning a new programs interface.

That being said, I would recommend that anyone interested go here:
http://www.blender.org/
Download the recent version, 2.46, and start tinkering.
Its an open source program, so there are tons of user made tutorials for every level including beginner.
There is even a Blender Wiki which is awesome

Jeepers,

just downloaded blender

Honestly, I just dont have the head for it
just as confusing as GS light for me

Im the kinda guy who needs to sit and read a lengthy manual
but sadly my life and all the curves it throws me with one thing and another
I dont have the time to read lengthy manuals or sit for hours trying to work something out

None starter for me

But thanks for all the links Gary and your efforts in pointing us in the right direction........most appreciated

Garry, I've come across a 21 chapter PDF manual on gamespace 1.5. Fire me a PM as the manual is quite large.
