Name: Karsten email: emailnow@gmx.de (yepp, a german :o)) i used an amiga for years with several graphicsoft and have done almost everything with it but i'm totally new to PCs and software like bryce, poser etc, though i have bought them all because it seems to be (sort of) my "destiny". Heres my list (beginner in almost every app) Bryce4 Photoshop5 (with several plugins KPT6, eycandy etc. low moderate level) Poser4 (well, at least i can pose a model and load a background-picture) 3DSmax 3.0 (uhoh..heavy to learn) Canoma 1.0 (the demo) Corel Draw and Photopaint8 (low moderate level) I'm looking forward to increase my knowledge during a challenge... see ya, Karsten
