Thanks alot guys, you've been a great help. Now if only Santa can bring me all these new toys I can be posting some of my inspired creations on Renderosity as well. Who knows, I have been a very good girl this year!! Guess I will just have to wait and see. Thanks again, Tolou

Thanks all, just wanting to know where to start. I have one other question which no one addressed. Do I need special hardware, i.e. draw pad instead of mouse. I really don't thing the mouse has the ability. What would anyone recommend? What manufacturer is the most popular? If you can answer me this one then I think I may be ready to get into it. You have all been really great and I appreciate you patience with someone so green. Tks again :)

Thanks everyone. I have already looked into the galleries. That is what made me so interested. I think of all the different styles/programs used I prefer Poser or Bryce. Can't decide which. I presume but you may want to respond here, that I can animate any 3d after? I currently have a version of A:M but it is not allowing me to freehand at all. I think I need to make the models first in another program and then use it to cause the animation. Once again, appreciate any feedback. ToLou :)
