It all started with Autodesk Animator. I had gotten my first computer in 1991, and while in the store I saw the package. I was absolutely amazed that you could do animation on the computer. Not long after that I became disabled ... and in a position where I had to find something that would allow me to earn good money from home. 3D animation and multimedia was the "next great thing", so with help I got a (then) powerful 486 66 mHz computer and 3D Studio release 2 (DOS version). I was hooked from the moment I rendered my first metal sphere. 8-)
