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.

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.

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.

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?
