Good Reminder – There Is No Magic Button

Posted on January 27, 2009

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!

    No kidding!! Well I think in Jacob’s blog he thought it was 3d since it’s so crazy looking. Very cool statue, thanks for identifying it!
