If I may suggest Xaphod, if you are looking for a CG art job in the states, look at Blizzard, Outrage (sister company of Volition), and Volition. These Three have the distinction, especially Blizzard, for releaeing high profile games, and also higher gamers. Blizzard had some job postings for CG artists on their website, and you might check it out. And no need for LW, everyone wants MAX these days.
If it's one thing i hate it's MAX. The interface sucks and is confusing, hard to get a simple object to move while in LW you can move an object from A to B whit out to push 70.000 difernt buttons. and more stuff thats wrong whit it etc etc etc.
LW, i love it easy to use good interface and it's easy to find stuff good surface editor and the handy graph editor shall i go on?.
But i must admit MAX isn't my program of choice, but it all depends on the guy using the program.
*Go's back to animate in LW7.5*

No its a good OT thread. Not being closed. One of the respected members of the team and forum (because there isn't any favoratism in this either) has a demo reel, it shows some of his talents and what he can do and some of its even related to what we've got here. Its just as relevant as some of the renders posted here as well.
Some of you have no concept of what acceptable around here....

you don't even have to set keyframes yourself, cause with animate on Max naturally knows you want to "animate"
Funny though, max appears to be missing several common modelling tools, like metaballs and CSG.. the rest of its modelling tools, particularly its standard modelling tools, are pretty much top notch though.. and its texturing tools are damn good.
Max has a great nurbs surface editor and damn good polygon editors, and if by "graph editor" you're talking animation function curves, then Max has those too.
I'd really like to learn Maya.. cause in the games industry, it's either max or maya people want you to know.. Softimage barely gets a look and Lightwave doesn't even get a mention
