Yep... I used do it that way too... But now I am using Truespace to model in and yes learning the software is a little harder but well worth the time and effort especially if you are like me in any sense of the word I am working towards using Maya or Max or lightwave for Gaming,Movie,Series,ect and Truespace really gives you an insite to what can really be done for a program that costs at least half the price of the higher end software and will help with the higher end software in the long run...But the bottom line is...Are ya havin fun yet?
