Question: How can I use Linux to make 3D graphics like I see in pictures, movies, and games ?

Answer: There are quite a number of tools available for Linux that can be used to produce all sorts of graphics. From simple raster paint utilities to complicated 3D modeling, rendering, and animation applications, Linux is one of the best platforms for 3D graphics production. This may be just my opinion, but I feel this way because of what I've read and learned about how the industry is using Linux for all sorts of graphics- related projects.
