Whilst Kayos(III) is correct for one of the plugin developers, I think it's probably clacos' plugins you're talking about - if modelling (rather than rendering) plugins are the topic - and yes they're well worth d/loading. (details on main Wings3d site or main forum) Since it's possible to get previous versions of Wings - try them with one of these - nothing to loose :) Like Jon, I've been using the app since 0.80 and would highly recommend trying it - obviously your other 2 (commercial) apps can do stuff Wings can't - but there's no good reason why it can't complement these - if you 'get on' with using it? Since there's nothing that says you have to use any particular app - just use whatever is the easiest for whichever bit ....... If you've never tried it - which seems to be the case, you've got a treat in store (imo) ....but I'm biased :) pp
