When I started CGI there was no such thing as forums. we had mailing list. I started in TrueSpace n Corel .Poser was my third CGI app. I no longer even need Corel or Photoshop. TrueSpace R.I.P. I don't use LW or zBrush much n countless plugins. I have 1000's in software n hardware that's collecting dust ,broke,out dated, etc etc.

My 2016 studio is nothing like my 1998 studio. Don't even have the same old lady. ;) Good bad or indifferent things change. But I promise you my 2016 studio is way better then my 1998 studio. It's my studio ,I control my studio ,No one tells me any different.They can have 3D Wars ,Mergers or what ever they want. But they can't harm my studio.

I know a lot are concerned about the latest merger but it's there merger not yours ,So they can't harm you.
