Depends what you want to do. Do you want to make images of characters (people, animals, toony 3D folks, etc.)? Or are you more interested in futuristic or abstract shapes and planes and such? Do you want to do naturalistic landscapes? Are you interested in building your own models (buildings, flowers, people, trees, whatever) or are you happy to purchase other people's models and arrange them artfully to make a final image? There are different programs for different needs. Tell us what you're interested in doing, and we can make suggestions as to what you might like to try. :-) bonni
