Howdy-do from Frisco, Croxi!
Thanks for introducing yourself so nicely. Hope you'll provide a link to your gallery, when you get some stuff up.

I'm a huge fan of Vue 5i - more creative power than i've ever had in a computer before. And lots of cool tools to explore. Many helpful folks here at Rendo. Suggest you also try Cornucopia 3D and 3D Commune - and of course, the e-on registered users site, if you have not yet.

If you're looking for tutorials (or create any), i'm starting up a web directory of VUE tutorials (46 today) and i welcome suggestions for tutorials or cagegories...
