When I was a child I dreamed of the places I now see every time I go to the theater. I imagined that I was 20,000 leagues beneath the sea, in outer space, or soaring high above snow capped mountains. I was Bilbo Baggins, Luke Skywalker, Indiana Jones, or Spider Man. Now through the power of 3D design and animation there is no place we can't go, and no image we can't create. Our desktop is our studio.
I think that 3D has given me a tiny glimpse of what it is like to be the Creator, and a firm understanding of what it means to be "Created in His Image". As a part of his creation given His image--His Imagination, I am now desperately trying to do what He did, to create! I am thrilled when I read that "No eye has seen, No ear has heard, Nor has it ENTERED INTO THE HEART of man[-kind], what God has prepared for us". In the words of the great poet <snicker> Han Solo, "I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit!" ;)
