      I did mess with Lightwave a bit but never got proficient. I cut my teeth on Imagine for the Amiga. IIRC it was like 2-3 hours to render a single frame of a starship flyby animation I made. I remember it took me a couple weeks to render the whole thing.

      I only ever did it for fun though. I actually have a lot of respect for those artists. It’s a lot harder than it looks.

        Oh definitely, there’s really no point besides testing your skills or maybe out of curiosity. But I honestly would suggest giving it a red hot go to any young animators out there. It may look like shit but hey, you can say you’ve struggled with the OGs
