Due to aging and all that entails, I was forced to give up oil painting and naturally drifted towards computer graphics. This has been a hobby of mine now for nearly 10-15 years. Now that I am retired - and way too much time on my hands - I am trying to teach myself way too many programs that would allow me to dabble in the world of 3D graphic art. So far I have enjoyed the 3 programs I have - PSP X3 (started with PSP6), Poser 8 (started with Poser 6) and DAZ 3 advanced (started with DAZ 1,5 I believe), I steadily make desktop wallpaper for my children and grandchildre.
