its been about 3 years or so when some major stuff hit my and my life... i wont go into the details of the ups and downs, but i will say i am happy to be back to my favorite hobby/passtime/creative outlet =P i definitely needed to an upgrade to my hardware, but before i fully commit i figure i would relearn everything i forgot, and that will take some time for sure. gonna drop some apps i was having fun with and focus on hardcore stuff, so zbrush (shamefully i cant upgrade my version since maxon bought it), 3d coat, blender, character creator/iclone and unreal engine will be my main focus. plenty to marinate on w/ all the new updates, new features and advancements taking place. right now got an acer predator w/ ultra 9 275hx, 32 ram, 1t hdd and nvidia geforce rtx 5070 w/ a dual monitor set up to get me going... this post shows the extent of my knowledge thus far, lol just having to relearn basic navigation in blender... adding plugins, installing content. zbrush will be quite the challenge. using my original tag... but "matcreator" is alive and kicking...
