Hiya Cyhiraeth; at the risk of being told off for too much LW yapping in the Poser forum, I found the Project handbook to be alot of fun and it covers alot of ground regarding different functions, and well worth reading. "Inside Lightwave" pushes things farther, and is highly worth being the book to read next. Just my opinion; as an unprofessional LW user I'm highly underqualified to make judgements...
