really have any adobe products (yet), which may not be so good. I am simply
trying to learn different ways to use Carrara and am learning lofting and such.
I want to convert simple 2d images, 2d logos etc... to 3d. I read every post in
this forum and while I don't understand half of what you guys are talking about
yet,... One by one the lights are slowly coming on. :)
Keep asking questions. There's lots of stuff that I don't really
get, and I've been around a bit longer...
I do a fair amount of lighting/post processing effects, texture
mapping, some modeling, animation, and atmosphere/sky stuff.
