Thanks guys,

that´s alot of (free!) read to go through.

Helge´s video tutorials seems to be quite
what I had hoped for, I guess you found
me a perfect x-mas present.

Now if you have some more info for the
creation and managment of character rigs,
geared towards good deformation using
intuitive controls, I´d love to have those, too.

I don´t dare asking about shader writting
for mR, still longing for user type geometry
lights, but after skipping through the XSI SDK,
I´m not sure how much I can do in a lifetime.

Especially since I´d likely just wanna be a modeler.

Cheers

tim

P.S: Therefor, Wayne, www.tweakcg.com is great! Thanks.
