How old are LW'ers?

[sami]

So seeing the crotchety ranting and dinosaur fear of the future in some of the posts, methinks the median age of LW'ers is probably around 57. But let's run a poll as see for sure. hmy:

So - just how old are you?
(the forum poll has a limit on entries so just choose your age range - no cheating please - we want you to be proud of the dues you've paid)

I'll post Lightwave's new name when the poll is over...

fantastic idea for a poll, excited to see the final results

 

[Otterman]

Think we have the final result, all remaining 9 users have their votes in!....oh no wait were down to 8 one just keeled over with old age.

Hey I'm the youngest here! Woohoo!


Bunch of old farts.
MWAHAHAHA

 

[SeaWiz]

I resemble that Remark! Looks like I'm the oldest so far.

 

[rustythe1]

looks like I'm in the norm, funny I would have thought it was younger, then again we probably all aged that much since the last upgrade (as I derail the thread LOL)

 

[roboman]

Was that mental or physical, my girlfriend says I act like a 12 year old.... Says that's why I like to draw cartoons.

You sir, are amazing.

Learning more all the time. Always improving the way I model and animate. What's amazing is my dad is 92 and still going strong.

That gap in 34-37...

 

[erikals]

so true, what's up with that ?

 

[rustythe1]

that would have been "Core" all the young new people probably left for Modo, version 11 came along and got a few back, and then I know a lot of people held off on 2015,
it actually paints a realistic picture I think, the middle people probably got into it around Babylon 5 and so on when it was widely used,

If we correlate the ages with LW versions, those in the 42-45 bracket were of College age during the 5.6 with a free upgrade to [6] days (I would know). So 38-41 were probably of College age during the LW7 days. So 34-37 would be the ones who were of College age during the days of LW8, which had unprecedented levels of negativity and pessimism. Then a huge resurgence in 30-33, who were probably of College age during LW9, then a drop during the Core/LW10 era. Then 20-25 would fit with LW11 and 18-21 are in College age now, during the LW2015 era.

I started using LW with version 9.6 while in college. I was around age 19. I went to Maya during University, then MODO after graduating. Now I'm back with Lightwave. I'm 28.

 

[JamesCurtis]

I'm 62 and got into LW at the very beginning. I was most likely in my upper 30's. I think.
