Oh, all the basic tools are there, but after being out of making models and playing with Studio, it&#8217;s like Christmas. Every time I open software, I get surprised by bright new shiny toys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to a dear friend, I&#8217;ve now discovered some new software as well, RizomUV, Allegorithmic Painter &amp; Designer, Quadspinner Gaea, just to name three. I&#8217;m now stuck with a learning curve that is almost 90 degrees. Not sure if I&#8217;m young enough for that kind of challenge but I&#8217;m going to have a go.  Mind, having played around a little bit with these and some other packages, it&#8217;s amazing how much things have changed. I really have been slacking off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, at the end of the day, the majority of changes are for the better, unlike some other software I can think of that just gets worse as time goes on. I should be grateful that at least I have a grounding in what I&#8217;m doing and am not coming in all fresh faced and new at this. I suspect if I did, I&#8217;d probably run away and hide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, I am very grateful to my friend for pointing me towards some of the new software I have to play with, they are awesome and wonderful fun to play with. I just have to remember that I&#8217;m not supposed to &#8220;play&#8221; with them, and get on and do some damn work. Work, hah! It ain&#8217;t work, it&#8217;s fun. If it ain&#8217;t fun, what&#8217;s the point of doing it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I get it, years go by, software updates and changes and things just keep moving along.
