(A bit of a rant)
I started this blog with a few different aims. One was to publicise my novel (if I ever finish the damn thing). Another aim was to convince people that using computers to generate cool-looking art was easier than most people think.
Perhaps I’ve failed some of you in this second goal. (Not those of you who are already digital gurus)
I know from some of your comments that

You have won me over. Still, I reckon Mekong medieval history is more in my line. I do have a degree in science. Police science that is.
Never had to enter a lab, just perfect page after page of waffle
What an achievement. Taught me the value of being verbose and the marvels of official ease.

Cool. Give it a try 🙂 If you get DAZ Studio, and tell me what you want to start with then I can guide you 🙂

So really, how gasted was your flabber? (ROFL). And does your fish take to it like concrete in the same way a duck takes to double-entry accounting. Please don’t refer to your novel as your damn thing, though. I would like to see it finished someday, not as much for your techspertese, as your wit.

Thanks ? I will try to finish the novel. I think i did not understand the size of the story i undertook to write. I am also trying to write something that i would enjoy myself and that is a challenge too!

Thanks for your generous offer. If I decide to go for it I will certainly ask for your help.

I have seen a lot of people come into the animation/modeling community very excited about learning. Only to never see or hear anything from them again.
I think the biggest thing is how patient you have to be in the learning stages. It does take a lot of time to get things down. Even years of experience to create some of these great things people see.
It does pay off in the end though. I’d wish more people would give it time.

I agree. The payoff is worth the long journey. Every time I think to push myself a bit further I feel intimidated but go ahead anyway. The other thing though is how supportive fellow artists are. I love it. Its a great community, though I need to bravely get to know more people in it.

The support by other artist is amazing. And I think a lot of new people don’t realize this. Thus they never utilize the support they could have.

Very true ?
