I like to dabble in a little bit of everything first hand. Early last year I experimented with stop motion animation. I bought a cheap camcorder at eBay, purchased an ebook titled "Secrets of Clay Animation Revealed," some Stikfas figures to learn with, and even bought Morphvox Pro to give my characters their own voice. Sadly, I have only put together some test videos of just a few minutes, nothing major has happened, yet. One of these days….

That was cool for awhile, and then I got extremely busy and I had to let that go. It is extremely time consuming just to work in a few minutes of video.

Then I got curious about 3D rendering; specifically Poser figures. Last year, around October 2007, I started dabbling in the 3D Poser world. I liked this a lot more than the stop motion animation because I could see results fairly quickly. I have learned a lot in the 3D world that can also be applied to photography and video. The use of lights to light a scene, for example.

Although the 3D figures I use are Poser. I commonly use Daz Studio, Daz's free Poser-like application, and Daz Studio compatible Poser figures sold by Daz 3D.

Just check out my 3D Graphic Novel, Valeria, so you can see for yourself what you can do with 3D software and 3D models these days.
