Remember The Glasses?

I had to laugh today at my wife who mentioned the cardboard glasses with cellophane we used to get to watch a 3D movie. Rosie is kinda behind the times with some things, especially anything technological. We were discussing my blooming and growing interest in 3D modeling, and that is what got her started.

I've posted a couple of half-assed decent 3D's on Daz3D.c in their Art Zone gallery, and it amazes me at the feedback I get. I have found that one these forums, there are either people that are very passionate about the art, and people who know jack. I kinda felt I fell somewhere in between. And I am probably being kind to myself.

It is an exacting art, requiring a knowledge of math, which I have none, and a good eye for lighting and positioning. I work in Poser 7, Bryce 6 for terrains, and with Lightwave 8 to build stuff. I know quite a bit about Poser and Bryce now, but haven't tackled Lightwave yet. Gotta learn to crawl before I can walk, ya know?

What amazes me here is that on AZ I have a blog of sorts, and have been posting a few little interesting tid bits of info that are helpful when working w/ Poser and Bryce. And I am finding that some of the so-called professionals are saying "gee, I didn't know that!" WTF? And they are getting paid for their shit? I find this absolutely unbelievable in ways. I know only the basics, and have forgotten half of what I learned. But, being a writer full time, I took courses at VTC to learn the apps. I couldn't waste the time with the learning curve. And I am finding I know a bit more than a lot of these so-called professionals. That is the state of the world we live in today. Doesn't that carry a lot of suckage with it, or is it me?

Peace,

Charlie~
