Ah, I have very fond memories of modeling with nurbs back in… Maybe 2001? 3ds max v2 was such an incredible playground for a 14-15 year old. V3 was amazing at the time too.
I am, but only have time for reading and occasionally playing around. Every year or two I dig into some software or catch up with new Blender features. If days were 48 hours, I’d be all over it on a regular basis.
I fully intended to have a career in this stuff from age 13–20 or so. When it came down to it, the competition was insane and people were already willing to pay my good money to program, so… I took the path of last resistance :)
