Blimey its mid week already....I've just got a Zbrush which is an awesome 3d sculpting package...I figured if i could teach myself how to use photoshop then i will brave the world of 3D modelling...now this I'snt going to be aimed at commercial uses but more to help me visualise charachters for my own projects.....so very exciting times...
