Summary: Good, but too basic
Review: I think it's an ok DVD, but I think it's too basic. If you read the LW manual you will find as good as all of this information there...Good for starters I guess.

Summary: Learn Lightwave Quickly
Review: This video is quite expensive, but it's worth the price to learn Lightwave 7 or 7.5 quickly. I also bought Lightwave 7 by Dan Ablan, but his book is over 1000 pages long. That book is good, detailed, but too long for me to be motivated to read it. If you want to learn about how to use the icons and menus on Lightwave, then this video will help you to create basic objects. The chapters consist of: interface, polygons, primitives, modifiers, multipliers, and tools. The author goes into detail on how to zoom in and out, rotate, center the object, and do other things. The video quality is not very good. It's quite poor and it's hard to see the toolbars on the left side of the screen when the camera is filming the entire computer screen. However, when the host zooms in to show specific parts of a model or zooms in to show the steps, then the quality improves a little. You can still see it, but don't expect top quality pictures like a dvd movie. This dvd really helps me, and so I might get the other ones too (model 2, surface 1 & 2, and others). Because now I know how to do basic modeling, it motivates me to read Dan Ablan's book to get more detailed information.
