thx.
3D can seem pretty daunting, but it doesn't have to be. The thing with something like Photoshop is, it offers instant gratification. You open up a pic, apply a filter and you have something cool (well, I thought so when I started out, heh). From then you're hooked and you start investing time in it.
With vector stuff there's already a delay, you have to learn the tools before you can do cool stuff.
With 3D you have to get past a bunch of terminology, concepts and (eventually) big ass manuals before you finally get to do the cool stuff.
But damn, if you look at the stuff people like mk12 (
