Good Reminder – There Is No Magic Button

Good post on Jacob Cass’s blog about the difference between possessing artistic and technical skills and just owning the software tools. I know for myself that the abilities I have to use Adobe CS3, for instance, are limited and I’m proud of the things I can do. Recently I downloaded Blender 3D which is open source software for creating 3D worlds and I played around with it long enough to realize that it would take a while for me to create a nice 3D scene, say nothing of a movie. So … respect the tools, but even more, respect the skills!
