Hello everyone,
Registered some time ago and wow only now my first post. Guess things also have changed a bit since I had to update my old link to eovia and refresh the page too.

Anyway, this is the first time I got the encouraging message to post something and here I am. Not sure how active I'll be as I'm not really a forum person - except with questions and such. I've spend most of my time on the daz 3d forums.

As for my experience in modeling, well it's not really all that much. I remember blender and way back I toyed around with a command line operated ray tracer. I also had various fragtal programmes running on my incredible 8086.

I got a bit more serious with Milkshape, a low poly 3d modeling programme and got my first experience with "skinning" uv maps. Later on I created a human model and some props for a German "mod group" for some other current game back then (I don't even remember which - my guess would be quake 3 arena).

Then a long time I left the mod/skin scene for what it was and just dabbled in all sorts of blue moon projects. Nothing 3d related though.

Then somewhere in 2002 my man gets me a wacom tablet for my birthday. I slowly started to doodling again and eventually discovered the Poser scene (though I used the free Daz studio programme). Wanting to create content myself I was "forced" to shell out for Poser, and got Hexagon and Carrara in a super deal. Of course at that point nothing could stop me, except a computer crash. No problem, fixed through upgrade, new HDD, getting an external no problem. Downloading everything, installing everything. Bang, short circuited my external (which functioned as backup).

So now I have yet another computer system and oh guess what ... I'm in the process of downloading yet again Hexagon (though this time it's version 2.2!). Oh, I just discovered something. Downloading Hexagon 2.0 > computer crash shortly there after. Downloading Hexagon 2.1 > Again something happened, this time a HDD crash. Now downloading Hexagon 2.2 ...

*panics and looks around very worried as if the world is about to come to an end*

I think I need a cuppa tea.
