 I know bagginsbill is successful .just don't know if it's in CGI or Programming or etc etc.

I've been a Artist my hole life .that started long before home PC's and CGI .it's all I know.

got in to CGI in 1998 ,before zBrush ,forums and youtube and all the schools and everything else.

I was one of the first to complain about manuals being written buy third parties that had no idea what CGI even was.

I like knowing I played a small part in manuals being written buy actual CGI Artist. 

---- 

If I was just starting out to day as a CGI Artist. I don't have a clue where to start.

any one here know the correct paths to take ? is there a harvard of CGI ?

---- 

one thing that is timeless thou only the best rule.

so no matter where you start and no matter what paths you take at the end  

you need to make damn sure no matter what other peace of Art buy any other Artist is set next to your Art.

that your Art is the best . One Rules the rest live on there knees.
