Well said LornaW. I am itching so much to be creative, but I just didn't want waste time on a program that I thought would do one thing, but isn't really made to do it. For example, I would have wasted days to try and build a model in Poser - but thanks to this forum, I know what poser is good for. I also wanted to know the general positioning of the programs. Many, Many years ago, my first job was as a digital animator for a TV production house. The computer cost $1 million - (a little sister to the Cray computer). The floppy disk was the size of a A4 book. The computer took up a small whole room. Now I can fulfil my desires on a desktop. It is intersting to know that the top systems cost $10k. Lots of money for individuals, peanuts for serious businesses. But I totally agree. I much prefer to show what I can with a Honda - just as long as it has tyres, and the motor does run.
