I have to thank David for asking all the same questions I have, except about the age thing. I'm 51 and I don't care, lol..except that I cannot run 12 miles in an hour and a half anymore, I kind of care about that.

This is a hobby for me.

My question is about the 3D products out there and the terms, methods, and such. I've bought a few things and learned the hard way to pay close attention to what file extensions are listed, and even then a product does not always import or render quite right. 'Course, this rendering might be my skill (low) level. I've been using DAZ3D 2.6, now upgraded to 2.7. 1) Is DAZ a good choice to learn from? My reason for using DAZ is that it was free and for me this is a hobby. I can buy the cool complex things and build scenes and take my time learning to create objects, people, etc. 2) Is there a better source to learn the terms/language used in these programs?

I'd appreciate advice, thanks in advance.
