I started doing art when I was young, around 5... atleast that's what my parents tell me. Between 10 and 16 I started to do more and more drawing art, but they were usually copies (duplicates of original pieces). Either way, around 18 I picked up the computer to start doing art in. I started off in some Macromedia art program (I think it was Macromedia.. it was an M that was half blue, half red for a logo). From there I went on to get Corel and then I found POV-Ray. I think I did some of my first 3d pieces in POV-Ray, then I got MORAY and did even more. Then I found Lightwave, hated it, and found Cinema which I loved. I've been using C4D for about 3 years now, and just now I picked up Poser. It is a strange jump for me. Unlike in Cinema where you'd have to build a person from nothing, Poser just gives you the person. Then there's this site which I found while trying to find something on how to make dynamic clothes work in Poser (and I have yet to figure out how), and now I've gotten to the guilty pleasure of downloading premade models... So I went from making 3d images from scratch (POV-Ray) to buying premade models and using them in "scenes". See where my problem is? eh..
