I figure I'm lucky if I understand 10 or 15% of what you guys say here. Rendering and the technical aspects of 3D modeling are all over my head. But this I do know. I couldn't be more pleased to have found SketchUp. What an great program! And though I'm sure it has all been said before I would like to send out a big thank you to the folks at Go-to-School for their pod cast tutorials. After watching those I came away knowing this was a program I could use. Now if I could just get hit by some devine instruction on Cheetah3D I would be a very happy camper. Right now you couldn't get even money on wether I figure it out or get institutionalized.
And thanks also to those of you here who take the time to share your expertise.

Hey Jim, it's good to have a new member of the SketchUp community! Keep that enthusiasm and you will have a lot of fun making models!
My suggestion is to get the basics of Cheetah (experiment logically, and reduce variables), and then ask some specific questions. You'll find a wealth of knowledge, but without knowing what you need it'll be hard to guide you.
Just a thought!
Cheers,

Thanks Craig. As soon as I know enough to know what I need I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions!

Jmac, you're in the right place for sure... thats what I got from the old forums too, I learned something every visit... even if I wasn't looking for it... and here as well we're starting to get the base questions built up... and now a lot of discovery is being done... as you probably know I visit here very often... its a constant learning experience... with some of the most professional and experienced SU'ers out there... we're pretty lucky to have this kind of tech support on call...

You are right about those go 2 school podcasts jmac, I only recently discovered them and was surprised how good they are.
I can't wait for their next dvd to hit the market, I will definately be purchasing it.Dylan

I totally agree with all of of you, jmac, dylan and kristoff.
go-2-school's podcasts are great (i've learned a lot from them) as is this forum. SU users are blessed by having the largest and best support network amongst all the apps I know. and for free, too.
I daresay that this forum will in time be better than the old one. the move to GG caused a rebellion that resulted in a place that is friendlier and one in which everybody seems to be assuming a very active role in creating, mantaining and making it grow.
best to all.

Hi Jim,
Cheetah is a great piece of software! I use it primarily for renderings, but the modeling side is also very powerful. I, too, knew nothing about modeling (other than in Sketchup) when I got Cheetah and it has been a really exciting learning curve.
Rendering, for me, has been all about experimenting different things. It can be frustrating at times and I am still only happy with about 25% of my final renderings, but I am starting to get a good grasp of settings that seem to work.
The Cheetah forums are really good! There are a bunch of really experienced guys there who are very helpful. They are located here: http://www.cheetah3d.de/forum/
Welcome to the club here! I think you will really enjoy your time here. Talk about helpful and friendly!
