		<description>Nice work, thanks. I particularly like the bits that show the beginnings of debugging.

I think the bit with slidertime might be confusing for the noobs. No actual time based stuff is happening other than the current frame moving. It&#039;s use in box creation is no different than i*i. It took me a few reads through the code to figure out &quot;where is that parabola coming from?&quot; I wasn&#039;t listening very hard at the time, but it sounded like a comment was made that you don&#039;t normally use the timeslider but here it looked to be interesting... if got that part right, then it&#039;s more misleading than helpful.

Sorry, takes more words to pick nits than to praise the whole. Seriously, I liked it.

After making my stack of boxes I thought it might be nice if the stack of boxes twisted. Poked a bit at adding rotation to the creation line. Failed. Quick look at the docs gave a solution that looks like (for a single box rotated 35 degrees. For a tower, i*3 or something might be nice):

   mybox = box()
   myrot = eulerangles 0 0 35
   rotate mybox myrot

I don&#039;t know if it&#039;s the best or right approach, but it might help fellow travellers.</description>

                I AM TOTALLY NEW TO MAXSCRIPT.SINCE YOU SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF PEOPLE LIKE ME,WHO DON&#039;T EVEN KNOW THE BASIC TERMS USED IN MAXSCRIPT,I WANT TO ASK YOU HOW CAN I LEARN THE VERY BASICS OF MAXSCRIPT?I LIKE THE WAY YOU EXPLAIN THINGS.SO I WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A WEBPAGE OR SOMETHING WHERE YOU HAVE EXPLAINED SUCH THINGS.I AM AN ANIMATION STUDENT,BUT THEY DON&#039;T TEACH MAXSCRIPT AT MY INSTITUTE.I HOPE YOU REPLY SOON.
                                                                                                        THANKYOU IN ADVANCE</description>
