Sometime in between there I started using LightWave 3D. I managed to score a mini gig at AFTRS whilst at university, helping a student complete his Master of Arts slate project. We were using Silicon Graphics machines (Maya running on IRIX).
I sometimes wonder where I'd be now if I had stuck to that path.
I do remember spending weekends rendering a single scene in Bryce and LighWave when I had a Pentium 200.
I think you'll find Roger Groom was also into Bryce terragens.

Yeah the good old days of waiting an eternity for scenes to render thankfully are behind us now with dual and quad core systems. I started with ray tracing back in the days of the Amiga computer, I can't remember the program I used ... probably still got it in a box somewhere ... then came windows based PC's and I used to mess around with Ray Dream Studio and Bryce 4 also Poser 4.
I discovered my Ray Dream Studio CD's in a box the other day which sparked my interest in tracing again ... luckilly I still have a Window98 pentium 3 computer lying around which I will be able to use to model with that program again as it's not compatible with my current system.
I never got into animation that much apart from a bouncing ball tutorial I did one time
I don't know how long my current dabbling will last but it's fun
Cheers Humayun
