3dOutlaw-yes i've seen some really nice work in Blender and I plan on having a look. Baba, thx and yes ive worked in Sketchup before. Will start out in Maya since thats what I kinda know. Then as time permits will do some looking. I also want to create some natural and organic meshes. Doubt I will ever try sculpting people tho. I also have always wanted to make rocks and trees and terrain in Zbrush. Have that on the backburner as time is very limited. Theres just something so theraoeutic in creating a mesh, texturing it and rendering it. My first love is LIGHT. If you've never looked Unreal Game Engine is free and a beautifull tool. If you signup you also get all the Megascans textures for free to use within Unreal. You could create things and take them into Unreal and make a scene then go in and explore it.
