I  started with oils and canvas in my late teens, then my 'progression' was to acrylic paints because they dried faster.....

I didn't get into digital art until almost a couple of decades later.  Like most, Bryce (5) was my first.  I got Poser a little later just so I could put dragons and unicorns into my landscapes. 

But although a good programme, Bryce just didn't do it for me with landscapes.  I felt the trees were really awful no matter how much futzing and changing materials.  And so heavy too.  So I looked at Vue 4 and that became my preferred programme.  Still is though t's 7 now.

I must admit that I nearly always do postwork because I don't always like how renders look.  Could be because I don't use the programme to it's fullest potential - or it could be me wishing I'd still got a real paintbrush in my hand   :lol:  Photoshop and Painter are just as important to me as Vue for my scenes.
