As i've only just come across this thread i haven't read the replies yet, however i'm assuming jurassic park came up loads. It always does. However for me it wasn't really any movie or video game, it was something i should be ashamed of. I originally got into 3d simply becuase i thought it'd be an easy career path, not the best reason i know. That however seriously backfired on me anyway as i was soon to learn that life in the CG industry is nothing short of hard work. But by the time i'd realised this it was too late, i was hooked and loved 3d more than anything (well, almost anything)
