Re: "When I look at some of the old movies I've done, I get positively embarrassed.  Probably the same thing will happen with 3D!"

Yep, been there. It took me a long time to get up the nerve to post my 'then' picture, yet it's what got me where I am now. When I started with 3D, I had no idea of Renderosity or any other 3D communities. I was also in the dark about finding tuorials and other methods of help. Sooo, I struggled to learn on my own with no-so-good results. Then, three years ago, I found this place and that led me to other places and well, here I am. If it wasn't for the kindness of others, I wouldn't have learned as much as I have, nor would I have such a HUGE library of 3D freebies I have collected over the last 3 years!
