Well it all started one afternoon when I was 8 and I was home alone with a roll of 8mm movie film and a camera and I burned up a whole pack of AA batteries learning about stop motion photography combined with tinker toys (and one spanking later). I was really into Star Wars and Star Trek and I really like art work but stick figures are as good as it gets with me. Later in High School I moved heavy duty into photography and I'm still very enthused about it and I learned a lot about light and framing. Later I moved into computer programming and one day I downloaded a shareware version of Paint Shop Pro 3 and started learning about graphics and the computer. I wanted something a little more heavy duty so I bought Corel Draw 7 which happened to have a little program attached to it called Corel Dream. NOBDY could produce any good graphics of the project I was working on in Grad school so I cooked up a really awesome 3D picture of the testing aparatus and added text with Corel and really got into it. Later I bought Ray Dream 3D, Ray Dream Studio 5.0 and later 5.5. I learned on the net that Carrara had come out long after it was discontinued by Metacreations and I was able to get a copy of EBay and scrounged up the patch at the time. I didn't pick up using Carrara until I heard about Eovia and I started using Carrara when I felt it had a somebody on the development end to fix and improve it. I'm not going to quit my day job but I've really enjoyed my 3D outlet Carrara has provided. -Kixum
