==================
Needed materials

A basic knowledge of wings3d


==============

I recommend that yu have watched DanielFox's tutorials first, he does it a little better than me and some of his techniques are used in my tutorial.

=============

Useful commands:
=============
X,Y,Z - Switch to that axis view
A - Aim camera at selected objects
Shift+a - Frame selected objects with zoom and camera aim
V, E, F, B - Switch to Vertex, Edge, Face, or oBject selection mode
Space - Deselect all
R - Reset view to defaults
O -Orthographic view
==============

One important step you will need to perform before following along with this tutorial: in Wings, go to Edit, Preferences, Advanced, and make sure Advanced Menus is checked.

===============
A couple extra tips!
===============
For a more 'traditional' horn, make a lot of bumps rather than the three big ones I have. It will give a little bit better of a twist look

Save often! In any work space, saving helps a ton. With wings 3d, also export often. Before it's finished even, you should export to a 32x32 or 64x64 sculpt map, that can be updated if you need to.
