How far the tech has come in only ten years - beyond astonishing!
You just need to stay out of the hospital (and raise money for the computer/software), and you can do anything--your filmmaking skills are brilliant.

The learning curve is steep. It’s highly technical. I’ve fallen way behind in the near decade that I’ve been away from the CC and mod universe. But I still remember the basics. I understand bone assignments. I’m familiar with path-based physics. I can mesh. I can work with textures and alpha channels. Why let all those years of skill development go to waste? My brain hasn’t completely rotted. I think it can still dust itself off and get back on point.

You're still amazing! No atrophy of the brain here!
