Newbie Introduction Thread Thread

Hi there:)

Im a newbie around this place, got recommended by Cg talk forum:) Im from the Uk;) I'm currently learning the ins and
outs of Lightwave 3d, my passion is to get into the games industry, I hope to be able join a mod team later on in the year
when im good enough at lightwave (<---advanced noob;) reading through lots of forums, iv noticed games comapaniess people use 3d Max
and Maya for games , Does this mean sooner or later im gonna have to learn one of the other packages to get into
the games industry:( ? I have tried using 3D Max and Maya learning editions, but I find Lightwave really easy to use.
When working in modding teams, does it matter what 3d package you use??

Many thanks:)
Prince

Hey, my name is Matt

Not really a newbie anymore, seeing as im on here usually everyday at one stage or another, uh but i guess this is a chance to formally introduce myself. Im 16, and im from Newcastle, Australia. I'm mainly looking at modding as a past time, not seriously thinking about it as a profession. I plan on being a neurosurgeon just so i can cut people open . My skills in modding lie in mapping, and my pathetic excuse for weapon modelling. Yeh that aboput sums me up.

Ciao

Hi im registering from skool so anyways I'm a sorta good coder (amateur) and my friend in RL Spartan-048 is who introduced me to the forums. So HI and i hope to be here for a very long time.

Hey guys, I'm new here and I just like to say hello. I've been mapping since Half Life 1 was released and I'm proficient with Valve Hammer Editor and Worldcraft. I got introduced to these forums through the Dire Mod and I plan to keep coming here regularly
Catch you all around

Greetings, im cody and i am 14, from New Zealand. I started of doing autocad with PTC pro then i discovered 3dsm and it all spawned from there.....
I got a hl2 mod in the process now which i model and code for, and to a lesser extent try to skin in photoshop;) (this is where i would link to my website had ww.hl2files.com accepted my proposal) most ppl think im to young to do serious stuff but they aint seen my models muhhahaha.

Hi, I'm Metr01973 (real name Simon) and I'm 32 and live in the UK. I'm not a modder at the moment but I am trying to learn to use the source SDK, so you never know you might see a map by me for HL2. Seems to be a really friendly site, I've downloaded mods from here before but never posted on the forums but that's all about to change.LOL Anyway hope to speak to you all in the future.

Hi, I just joined. I'm working on a mod of Half Life 2 with my class. We're creating a futuristic racer and we're getting things together. We're extremely excited that our demo build will be up for download by Febuary 20th at www.blackoutmod.com . My role in the devolopement was game designer, modeler. texture artist, and now script editor and game tester.
