Curious - 3D ART
Bet you didn't know I have a 5 year old daughter! Well, it just happens to be so that I do and she is the center of inspiration for me. Her bright eyes and curios nature always keeps me creative and mentally busy. I'm always trying news ways to stimulate her mind as well.
My daughter is very aware of what I do for hobbies, she's always sitting on my lap and watching me move my 3D models around in Daz Studio and in fact she has several models that she herself picked out for use. (her "Dollies" as she calls them)
Kids, they will surprise you if you give them a chance. Even at 5 years of age my daughter has figured out how to use features of a computer that prove to be complicated for adults. But there's something else you probably didn't know either. Kids, are adults in training, respect their future adulthood and don't force things on them that they wouldn't choose.

Rant About the Ready Made Frame
At this point you're probably wondering what I'm talking about. No, this isn't really about physical picture frames, but more about intellectual frames of mind. Here's the question that brought this blog on...
If we all travel the same paths in the the same ways, won't we all make the same mistakes and come up with the same ideals? Wile working together to achieve a goals is necessary part of life, blatantly forcing conformity is not productive to creativity in any manner. Where there's no creativity, there's no discovery and where there's no discovery, there's no learning. We don't need to all think the same way, or look the same, or even act the same way to work together to achieve goals. What we DO need to do is respect others differences no matter how bazaar or different those difference may be. At the very same time, we need to be able to respect our own differences.
Free Graphics Resources - Textures
Imagine having found the perfect texture just to find out there is copyright restrictions. Yes, this can be quite fustrating, but people have the right to decide how they want their work used. These conditions can range from just a simple 'must link back' to non-commertial use only to even pay per use. Always keep one thing in mind, even if it says the photo is free for use, make sure you read the copyright restrictions/terms of use contracts very carefully, I can't stress this enough. Gods forbid if you use something and then have to destroy your hard work due to copyright infringement.
The link that I'm going to provide is a mega compilation of sites that provide free textures, written by squareroot on Scibd, it takes a minute to load but trust me it's well worth it.
