Leather-guy - I disagree with you on the breakdown of things into their base components of paint, brushes, paper, typewriter, mesh creation software, etc. G That's not what I meant. These are the tools with which to actually create - I'm talking about using premade items like Vicky & Mike & their derived characters, objects like furniture, buildings, and other props that have been made and textured by other ppl.

pnevai - I think you got it for me - like photography (which I do a bit of G) - setting up a scene that conveys a vision in one's mind or capture a point of view. Thank you hugs

And thank you all who have (so far) responded :) Tis good to get other points of view on which to ponder.
