blender is very hard to get used to. and i believe there are some smoothing bugs on it. im not entirly sure but know that i have tried it and it has a very steep learning curve. try wings 3d ( what i use ) , and if you wanna give blender a shot try that too. those two are the main ones really.

im trying to learn uv mapping, but mac guides are hard to find. i should check my post on the wings 3d forums hehe. if i can update the texturing ill give the update.

nono, i can\'t agree with this. you don\'t believe everything what the fan art guide tells you right?
they are more \'guidelines\' i think if you learn blender (lot of tutorials now) you have great profit from it. wings doesn\'t do animations and no renders so i don\'t have a clue what you are gonna do with it...
and, blender\'s modeling tools are easier to use i think, because you can use hotkeys and stuff.
it\'s true that blender has some smoothning bugs you you can avoid these easely.

ok, ill just stick with blender then, thanks.

no renders... i get rendering in opengl. and i have blender. i tried it but it was very strange...
my screen shots are rendered... just no back ground or whatever....
and i saw somthing about the smoothing in blender.. there was this strange outline. i dunno i find wings easier to use personnaly . but each to their own.
-
wings3d is easier because it\'s a much simpler tool.
blender is on a whole new league.
-
yourite wings is much simpler and blender was a problem for sum people cos you need like middlemb and they didnt have it
-
what is middlemb?
blender is easyer to model with because i couldn\'t find and hotkeys for extrusion in wings, and that just sucks right?

then just do it manually ....
-
right mouse button:find tab:find other tab, ah, extrusion!
now what if you need to extrude a few times after eachother?

thats where i think wings fails.
but i must admid, blender is complicated...
cause if you DON\'t know hotkeys you have a problem...

i dunno what was wrong with blender but everytime i moved an object together and then went to rearange it, it stuck together and moving it simply moved the whole lot and mutated whatever was there...
i found that very annoying.

never encountered that...
but if you duplicate objects in alt +d than you edit them at the same time. it\'s very useful when editing symetrical things, wich you can join later.
if you want a seperate duplication use shift+d
