Despite the fact that I did start tinkering a bit with 3d CG back around 1997-98, with Autocad, Bryce and 3D Studio, I had over a decade's worth of artistic  hiatus, and only just got back into it really when I got my copy of Poser 9, when it was released (having failed to get very far over last summer tinkering with Blender)...

...it was only then that I discovered and signed up to this place... and the rest!

So yeah... I'm at the ten month mark now... as opposed to ten years... LOL.
