People just take affordable equipment or things like discounted
education versions for granted these days, luxuries we never had. There
wasn't even something like Blender around when I started out as an 3D
artist 19 years ago.

My first 3D work was in 1988, using an Amiga program called Videoscape. It didn't have a UI - you had to type everything into a text file, including the data for your models, animation paths, etc. I plotted everything out on graph paper and then converted it to numbers as I typed it in. Then you waited 2 hours for your spheres and boxes to render at 320x240.

Yeah - it really is amazing how much things have changed since then.

And the renders *still* take 2 hours!
