****That's true...about the free apps.  Especially until you see which area is your cup of tea.  I don't know about everyone else, but I can't concentrate on everything.  Compfox, you may find out that you like texturing better than anything...then you wouldn't need anything but Photoshop, GIMP, StitchWitch, or Painter...Photoshop is so expensive though...whew.

StitchWitch is a good little texturing program.  GIMP doesn't cost anything.  And if you decide you want to make original textures -- like 'for sale' texture packs -- do check out Genetica.  That program is a gem, once you get the hang of it.

Look at me...plotting your whole 3D career here.  (Blush)  Sorry...Poser and all it encompasses is basically my life!  :-)
