You're welcome Monika

I would have loved to see the stuff on your site but it seems they are
mostly flash content.  My browser (Firefox 'minefield') is not too happy
with flash at the moment.

Fedora is an open-source and Free project and contributors are
encouraged to use free tools.  Guess what?  There are excellent free and
open-source tools out there and in the Fedora repositories.

For Photoshop/Painter try GIMP
For Illustrator try Inkscape
For Maya try Blender 2.5.x series (if you're  using after effects for
compositing, you get that with Blender too)

Its fun and exciting watching these free tools evolve.  If you find
anything missing ... ah, with your enthusiasm and love for the tool, you
might just get it in there within weeks.

Have fun
