The software gets very pricey so its not something you can really do as a kid.

I'm sure that the software didn't exist when I was a kid.

3d modeling probably didnt really take off till after the PC revolution so you are probably right. 😀 😛

Yea. Probably took another 5 to 10 years after that before the first 3d modeling programs came out. 🙂

Never really caught on till the PC and the software progressed enough so one could produce really good images. 😀 😛

I see. About when did that happen, Kurch? 😀 😛

Well its hard to put an exact date on it. Essentially its hard to say when exactly things became "really good" as art is a subjective thing. I would say things really came into their own in mid 90's. Then you could get a really good PC and some really good software and make some pro looking images.

Thanks for the history of computer graphics, Kurch. I was much more interesting in creating documents in the 1990's, not images. 😀 😛
