The company who owns the rights to the logo above have allowed me the privilege of having them send me some of their higher resolution logos so that I could post it on my own web pages and places I live on the internet in order to selflessly and shamelessly promote the hell out of their product(s).
With that being said, my favorite tool from them, thus far, has been their EVOLUTION ELECTRIC GUITAR STRAWBERRY VST. It is one of the best I've had the pleasure of playing with thus far, and intend, fully, on returning to their store the moment I receive more funds, and getting many more of their instrument samplers. Bar none, they are above and ahead of the game than any other I've seen, for what the VST's do.
I have several guitar samplers, but this is above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to allowing me, a non-guitarist, to explore my desires on a "guitar" that sounds kick ass!

For any film special effects editing, I love to use HitFilm 3 Pro.
It has a very simple and intuitive design and is very easy to work with.

For my artistic creation side, I love to use DAZ Studio 4.9 for scene creation and some small animations. If I am rendering out something where I want a better backdrop/environment, you can easily export your scene file from DAZ Studio into any other program very easily.
In order to create many of my artworks, I use various programs and they are listed below as direct links :
- Vue 9.5 Extreme/Infinite
- Adobe Photo shop CS5 Extended
- Daz Studio/Adobe Photo Shop Bridge
- Filter Forge
FILE SHREDDER - is another tool I use in order to destroy files before deletion, so no one can re-constitute them for any reason. It comes in handy.
