thanks DR Geep, i did wonder when vicky came around. seems i had poser 3 then poser pro, both free from 3Dworld mag, and its that mag that got me started in CGI with strata3d and poser.
 
Before that i was using a prog called spazz 3d to make vrml objects for cybertown and its from that program that all of my intrest in making stuff came around,

3Dworld also gave a free copy of some bryce program (realy old n basic) and with using poser  my CG started to take over from free hand drawing and painting.

so my real history would be:

Spazz3d. strata 3d,  poser3, bryce?, poser pro..... and eventualy poser 7 , vue and studio max
