wow Great response i wasnt really expecting this musch support :) Im open to forum rules! One of the reasons id like a few people to moderate, other than one! I think it should still be somewhat limited to at least just a few topics. maybe this could be done by doing a car model one month an organic creature the next and buildings on another session if we did it this way everyone would have to basically help each if you finish sooner stick around and give others a hand type of thing ,other opinions techniques etc and it would involve several different modeling skills, Each month theres alot of different things to model on a car a building or creature like hair lights wheels etc. keeping a focus as a group is very important this will make the person who only uses 3ds or lw helpthe person using carrara and rhino and get different perspectives! Aat the beginning of each month we could see what everyone would like to do make a list and then cross off as we move along http://www.izware.com/news/indexa446.html a good link while we wait and see
