I like to cover a little bit of alot of thing. That tends to be a problem. Too many things to learn...too many things to keep up with. I like to work on a Macintosh...if you have one, you know what I mean ....and I do have a core of software that I work with. For imaging Photoshop, Illustrator, Painter, Poser....for film pieces Premier and After Effects....for rendering and 3D pieces Bryce and Infini-D. Around these is an arsenal of software to supplement and enhance the core.
