I use Poser, Blender, Shade3D and Design Doll; sometimes MakeHuman. Over the past few years, I have specialised in anime-style 3D CG rigged and unrigged but poseable Ball-Jointed Doll figures. I also make them into 3D printable and low-resolution papercraft versions. I have to-date printed out a prototype head using iMaterialise's service. I have used 3D content in my visual novel otome game. I plan on creating for Augmented Reality as well, using my original geometries as a starting point.

Years ago, as a rookie user of 3D CG human figure software, I dabbled in DAZ Studio and the earlier versions of Poser (- mostly as art therapy while fighting a disease). I now use Poser primarily. I am also interested in Japanese animation and manga arts; therefore have dabbled in MikuMikuDance and Live2D, but have not gone very far with those ! I have tried Houdini, but again, I am not a VFX person. For 2D, I use GIMP, Clip Studio, and sometimes dabble in Anime Studio.

I have seen a lot of drama and emo in 3D CG forums and discussion threads all over the internet. I am at the stage where I just roll my eyeballs and let it go, lah lah lah.
