Hi,

My name's Mark and I'm an alcoholi...

*whoops* (sorry, wrong forum.)


... Let's start again shall we.

My name's Mark. I'm from London (ish).

I've been playing with various 3D tools as a (very)part-time hobbyist now for a number of years. I actually work as a Systems Consultant by day (that's a fancy name for developer I guess) so by the time I get home I'm usually all computered out (hence the very part of part-time).

I started out many many moons ago in TrueSpace (v4 through v6), then moved on through several versions of LightWave (v6 through v8.5) and landed firmly in Modo land a couple of years back (v301 through v501).

I've now recently started to try and learn a bit of Maya, since whilst Modo is really good as a modeler and static scene renderer, it still sucks at animation, dynamics, particles and all that funky stuff that makes playing in 3D so much more fun.

So, there you have it (in a long, rambling sort of fashion).

I've been around since the year dot here on SM and SLW (I was one of the early moderators on SLW) so you'll no doubt be seeing more of me around here asking really (really) dumbass questions.


Cheers all.
Mark
