Let me start off by saying I was into art and drawing WAY before I even thought abuot what a megabyte was. That being said, Poser was just a step in evolution of what I do my art in. From my crayon and play-doh days as a child to pen, pencils, clay, markers, etc, of my teen years, then after schooling I got into making animated and interactive Flash banners for a chat site that is sadly no longer active. So my artistic side has never left me, only my medium has changed over the years. And now, ladies and gents, is my story of how I came to Poser©.
I have always been my friends' tech support. And one of their fathers, which we are like family (known his son over 20 years), always calls me up with "I picked this up from 'such n such',can you use it?", and one of those calls included a bag of software he picked up at a garage sale. Most of it was junk (but classic games) from the good ol' 386 days and a copy of Windows 3.1© (oh yeah baby!). But just so happened to have a copy of Poser 7© in a rather beat up box as well. What a diamond in the rough that was.
That was just a few months shy of a year ago. Once I installed Poser©, I started Googling© everything about it and downloading all the free stuff I thought was cool (what a mistake that was in hind-sight), but anyways, I found my way into the chat room here, talking to a few people in there, and got pointed towards Wings 3D, after my 1st model, of my PC, was made with all Poser primitives. A lot of work, lemme tell ya. It's in my freebies if ya don't believe me. It's a butt load of separate parts (however many that is).
Once I downloaded Wings tho, I was off and running, to where i am now. Still a noob, but I hope people see me as having potential in the future.
(When I started typing this, I had NO idea it was going to be so longwinded. I do apologize :o)
