Running Screamernet II on Mac OS X
So here it is--a comprehensive tutorial about using ScreamerNet II running under Mac OSX. This tutorial was developed using LightWave 7.5 running on OS X (10.2.3). With previous versions of Jaguar (10.2 to 10.2.2) a bug reared its ugly head that caused ScreamerNet to "break." Therefore you must install OS X 10.2.3 or later in order to guarantee success with this tutorial.
The basics of extrusion creation and modification
One of the powerful features in Freehand MX is the all-new Extrude tool. Over the course of the next several weeks, we'll be presenting you with some tutorials on using this tool in ways you might not have considered before. But without some background, each one of these would require several sub-tutorials. So I've decided to cover a good number of the issues that might arise for you in this preliminary overview of the Extrude tool itself.

A fast fix for incorrect monitor settings at startup
Here's the way it happens with me: I install a new piece of software, restart my computer and find, without explanation, that the refresh rate, color and geometry of my monitor is all wrong. The screen is flickering at a headache-inducing frequency; images are distorted; and the color is set back to pre-calibrated hideousness. Even my Desktop Picture is missing. Yuck.

This time around, we have 30 non-repeating brush images of natural objects, all based on photographic images of highly textured foliage, rocks and other assorted phenomena. Read on to download this week's collection.
Handling Handles
Last time we looked at morph targets as a character animation technique, and by my count, that particular piece contained no less than 57,491 instances of the word "morph." As we press on to the exciting world of handles, it's my personal goal to surpass that number in this article, aiming for a cool 60,000 mentions of "handles." By the end of this series (which will, mercifully, come with the next installment), there will probably be a great many words you will likely wish you've never heard of, but for now, I'll just concentrate on making you sick to death of the word "handles" and all its various derivatives.
