Having said that, good tools can help make art easier . . but the best tools can't make an artist that doesn't underdtand light and color and balance, etc. good.

Beware the 'wow...look at this' - factor which is an issue with 'image generators'.
Ninetynine point nine times out of a hundred what you suddenly discover 'you can do' with such proggies as Bryce and Terragen, etc. has been 'done to death' by countless thousands before.
That chrome torus floating above a rippled water foreground with dolphins rampant over palm trees is actually less rare than rocking-horse poo ...by a long shot....
There are sites/examples on the net of amazing results achieved with that lowly MSPaint.....where it is definitely the talent of the artist and NOT the program used.
Think....
1. Experimentation
2. Practise
and
3. MORE practise.
Doing your 'own thing' is what it's all about. Don't expect the proggy to do it ALL for you. It won't.
Main thing is to 'JUST HAVE FUN' ....

It will if you want a chrome torus floating above a rippled water foreground with dolphins rampant over palm trees.

In another life, when I was very young, I wanted to be an artist, my father even forked out money for lessons. Unfortunately there wasn't much support after that. I than grew up and found other interests. Doh! So hopefully some talent is left inside my brain!
I really think this is something I want to try and see what happens.
Hey Zubaz appreciate your reply also.
Hey MountainHawk you have to know what I got when I search Genesis, a rock (which I grew up on) and the Bible! You wouldn't happen to have a link would you?

Philly, a good tip . . if the softwaer can do it for you . . don't do it.

"Practice"?
Zu ...in the 'real world' of English speakers....we differentiate between 'practice' the noun and 'practise' the verb ...

My first impression is, oops, what have I gotten myself into. I'm not in any kind of rush here so I'm going to do this by the tried and true military method, by the numbers. One step at a time, complete it and move on to the next step. Hopefully the quide will walk me through the process in that manner.
At the moment I can't imagine how anyone every manages to take the first step in trying something like this. Atleast the price of the software was good, free.
