While wasting hundreds of dollars of pirated Adobe software on my artistic talent was fun, I have more fun exploring how beautiful 3D animation is, especially when left to the design of physics. Things like soft bodies and cloths and fluids, things which, in real life, have points of articulation down to the atomic level, where changes mere femtometers in length occur, being simulated by computers is fascinating.


So, while I am right now restricted to Blender, I will be making attempts at grabbing Realflow, for fluid simulations (the company Scanline doesn't sell its high end Flowline software (viewed in almost every movie ever made. Ex: the flamethrower part of Iron Man), so I'm stuck with Realflow) as well as a five and a half thousand dollar suite with Maya in it (not that I'm making any active attempts to pay for this software to acquire it).
