Yep, same here... I can manage a render in lightwave, and USED to be able to do a decent setup, but those skillz are from 10 years ago, and layout has added so many new features. It always amazes me though how people talk about modelling being so hard.. with the new tools we now have, modeling is SO much easier then the old days, without subpatching, and heck, without uv maps!

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
