Question is... what constitutes a "newbie" ? Is a newbie someone who is new to Renderosity? New to a specific program? Or new to 3D graphics in general? By the first, I'm not exactly a newbie anymore... I joined in the summer sometime. By the second, I'm definitely not a newbie to Rhino or 3DS Max, and probably not for Poser. By the third, I'm definitely not a newbie. I've been playing with 3D graphics since a "toy" program on a Macintosh in about 1992.
