thank you for this. i am new to the site and new to 3d modeling/animation etc.
i am a student and i am finally done with my “foundation” classes and i am just now getting into my focus area which is 3d design (digital).
they teach us MAYA at my college (college for creative studies in detroit, MI) and i look forward to getting various crits from everybody here and hopefully join some of the various contests i see from time to time here.
like i said, i am new to the site and new to the field and i look forward to growing with the community and in my passion, which is 3d design.
Ahem, am i to understand that it is impossible to post an image directly into the post, without using some third-party hosting service ? Why is that so ? Okay, each user on cgtalk have a certain amount of disk space for attachments, so why cant i upload an image directly using that same space ? Does what i am saying makes sense to anyone ? 
Thanks very much Rebeccak.
This should prove handy to me. Hopefully I’ll be able to post some of my work here soon. 
Hey, um, I’m new to CGTalk, and I’m also interested in Visual Effects and Motion Graphics, I’m going to college and I’d like to learn 3-D character modeling. This is very interesting for of art, and I’d like to learn more. Does anyone know of any software that I could get to start learning how to do this? I do use Photoshop, but I’m pretty sure that Photoshop has nothing to do with this - it’s on a whole new level. Can someone help me out?

BTW Most ISP’s come with a few megs of disk space so you can put a few pics up on your own page for the most part.

I’m new to the site and was editing my profile trying to add an avatar. I’m not sure if it has something to do with me not being a paying member but does anyone know how to upload an avatar? I’d appreciate any help, thanks

Nevermind! I found it. I guess they put it there a couple of days ago, because it wasn’t there when I checked.
