I know exactly  what you mean, but unfortunately I dont have time or cash for school for this stuff like I really want to so I gotta snoop around for bits and pieces of info and tutorials here. So far everything I know about 3D, Ive taught myself from books and tuts here on Renderosity.  Im going through the Max tuts right now but my work schedule just increased so I got little to no study time for this now... Im trying to break my way into the 3D world so I can break out of this 9~11 job and start doing something I really like for a change! (^_~)

I dont mind working hard, I used to go to work at 8am, get home at 12pm and study till 4am every dayt! But until things slow down, Im kinda looking for something with less of a learning curve and semi decent results so I can do some satisfactory work until I can find more time for Max. Its hard for me to keep up with it now so Im trying to find a way to stay in the game for now.

iToaster? Gotta be the next bestthing from Apple. Plug in your iPod, select a song, and the toast will brown to the rhythm! (^_^)
