Its harder than it looks. Im hopeless on 3D Studio Max. I still try. :( WHY CANT I BE GOOD AT IT!!

[xino]

you can't be good because that isn't your profession!

I am not good at Flash neither:/

the only way to coop with 3D Studio Max, is to read guides and tutorials, practise with given examples and use examples on real project.

In sound, I got a Distinction. Im more good at giving ideas for games than concept art, 3D etc. Im alright at flash. Not brilliant. BUT still. We're currently making a "whack a mole" game o.O
