Lio - that's a thought. I will ym you the instructor's ym info but he is not on-line everyday.

Re Blender - you will need a PC with an OpenGL card. I doubt very much if it will run on a Windows Mobile 5/6 device.

Also it depends on your input mode - are you used to the mouse, tablet, etc? Actually the most convenient would be a pen on small tablet such as the Wacom's gaphire or intuous tablets. Just make sure the model you get comes with a pen input and has the necessary drivers for your OS.

Depending on how you sketch a PDA might actually be desirable. Unfortunately as I said earlier I doubt if the software will run on it. Although some crazy guy might have actually ported the modeling part. (I know I would have done that in my younger years had the PDAs already been around then

). The rendering part is basically out of the question.

But you may want to consider the forthcoming Asus eee PC 701. It supposedly runs on either Linux or XP but I am not sure about the built-in graphics. At any rate I will let you know as soon as I get the info.

Why not? AFAIK owning a car is not requirement for learning 3D Studio Max.

Just coordinate with drey. He is the big boss.

Good luck!

*Drey, OyiL

I emailed you the instructor's contact info.

**proxies** · June 24th, 2007 01:34 PM

Ok lang po ba na magsama sa meeting? I have a friend that is also interested in learning 3D as well as participating with this PHuV project...

**architect** · June 24th, 2007 02:57 PM

As long as he is sincere in his desire to participate ini the PhUV project, why not? But please ask him to become a member of tsikot first.

*OyiL,

The instructor is here right now. He says it is best to YM him any questions that you may have. I already emailed you his YM addy. But please don't expect him to answer immediately. He is not always online. Thanks.
