It isn't swastika symbol, but Latvian traditional simbol. Diference is in wich side it go, for swastika it is to clock rote, for Latvian to other. This symbol mean thunder. Yes the one with the arms pointing the other way is called "sauvastika" and it's original meaning is believed to be "autumnal sun" (the swastika's meaning was the vernal sun). Alternatively, the swastika represents Ganesa and the male principle, while the sauvastika represents the Godess Kali, and the female principle. The original symbol for forked lighting was a "Z" and if crossed by another "Z" it forms a swastika (or in this case a sauvastika). The Chinese name for "swastika" is Lei Wen, which means "thunder scroll". The swastika is one of the oldest known symbols used by man. The name is an Indian word and the symbol is believed to be of Arayan origin, representing the supreme God, and is thousands of years old. Of course it has nothing at all to do with Nazi Germany and has apparently no negative meaning anyway. Personally, I wish that the world would put the whole Nazi thing to bed.

Hi, I just signed up. I make LFS skins sometimes. A friend suggested that I get my skins rendered and recommended your site. I'm not sure what he meant. Anyway, here's a VW I made in Max '09 recently. I'm hoping to learn the tools and techniques to import lfs content into max and rendering them. Thanks!
