Graig Russell Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Hey all. Can I be a real pain in the ass? Could anyone point me toward some good resources for a complete beginner? I've seen this site: link but unfortunately, either the files provided are for a later copy of VW (I have 2008), or they seem to be dead. I've got a handle on basic drawing, so I can draw a plan of the theatre, but, as an example question, how do I turn that into a 3D space? Anyway, I understand you probably think I'm an idiot, but we were all noobs once, right? Maybe I could repay the favour sometime, who knows Quote Link to comment
Graig Russell Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 .... OK, so I just saw the other 'Help I'm a noob' thread below. Certainly, I'll look at the stuff provided, but if anyone has help for someone with basically no budget, I'd be much obliged too Quote Link to comment
