Trust me it all looks a hell of a lot more complex than it actually is. As soon as you start fiddling around you'll have it figured in no time. I remember a couple of months ago when I didn't know what the hell I was doing, where I got anything from or how I even got the picture out of the program once I completed it. The manual was so complex it made my eyes water, and you're so immersed in fabulous artists here you wonder...will I ever even get a simple render. Trust me it comes, and then watch out. Not only is it as addictive as calorie free chocolate, but I spend so much per month on new things my hubby has had to up my spending money. All other interests have waned and I have ideas for pictures 24/7 relax, enjoy it, you're in for one hell of a ride :)
