Im just interested to see where people started, and where they are now.

I started when I had just turned 14, with photoshop, 4 months later it was bryce, then about april this year I started properly on 3dsmax.

i think it was Half-Life's level editor Worldcraft that got me interested. That was in 98 or something, and ive been maxing for about 1 and a half year i think

Im 18. you do the math

TyKeiL · 09-08-2003, 03:41 PM

hehe making other people do the math for you knut =P

"he who laughs last thinks slowest?"
i think not they laugh last because they have more things to think about and disregard to get to the answer

hence when they find the piece of the puzzel that is funny they laugh longer than anyone else because they know how obscure the answer might have been in relation to there own lives.

he who laughs last has lived fuller, ad enjoys a good joke

anyway enough bull****ting

i started fingerpainting when i was like 2 or 3 or something, hows that =P

then crayons and stuff

first experience with compuetr 2d was when i was like 15 or 16 using friends pc's

first experience using 3d was on my brp's pc when i was like 15, 16

i bought my own pc when i was 18,.. sucks to not have one of your own to play on havent looked back since

Solidarity · 09-08-2003, 03:59 PM

Ehmm, lesse...
I started with GEMpaint when I was 6..
Then I changed to Apple Paint Shop when I was around 11
Used TruSpace 1.0 and Photoshop 3 back when I was 13, remember the times..
Kept using Photoshop all the way since then, haven't tried 7 yet.
Toyed some with Macintosh Strata 3d Studio when I started Media, which made me decide that... Strata sucked, so I joined a class in 3d studio.. But I never got in, and instead the head-computer-guy gave me a CD and told me to use it at home instead... :P That was around a year ago, never really started til 6 months ago, with 3d Studio 4.. Then I got v5 from my brother who used it in school.

I'm 18 now.

-There you have it, my life story.

Rinne · 09-08-2003, 04:56 PM

Started with gmax when I was 13, then got to 3dsmax 4, when I was 14, now I'm 15, so didn't learn as fast as I could

TyKeiL · 10-08-2003, 03:11 AM

oops, i made a mistake, i started koalapaint as soon as i could coordinate my hands to use a joystick and a keyboard

koalapad on C=64 with a pressure tablet

Honki · 10-08-2003, 03:20 AM

Ummmm......

Started with PAINTBRUSH when I was about 8... I guess
Then to CorelDraw & photopaint etc at about 12,

Photoshop & Quark etc when I started working part time for a local studio @ about 16...

experimented with Raydream & Bryce3d about the same time, and bought Max4 about 12 months ago.
(One hell of an expensive hobby!!!!!)

21 now

Downup · 11-08-2003, 01:51 AM

10: Mspaint

:=)

14-16 = some bryce,poser and alot of quake 3 level editor
16½ - now soon 18 = 3dsmax

Jared · 11-08-2003, 01:58 AM

I think i started when i was about 12 or 13. because I know I've been doing it for almost 5 years now and I'm 17 years old.
I'm not so good though if you kompare to people like Kuman and Radarhead. I guess it's because i never read any tutorials or anything like that. Everything i know i learned myself by fiddeling in the program I've used. Guess that's just who i am.

B.R.Rajeev · 11-08-2003, 06:50 AM

I think iam the oldest here.

Well i started directly on 3d neraly a 1 year back and now iam 23

dhin · 11-08-2003, 07:04 AM

Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst He who laughs last thinks slowest (usually me) If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy? If at first you dont suceed, destroy all evidence that you tried. Relying on a friend is much like relying on a parachute, if they’re not there the first time, chances are you’ll never need them again! He who laughs last also laughs longest If you choke a smurf, what colour does it turn? I am going to live forever - or at least die trying You have the right to remain silent, anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity
