Indeed Shade's interface was designed for Japenese's way of thinking, same way they read & write. Version 7(The International one) should have a more "Westernized" look to it. :-) What i really Love about this app are it's very well implemented tools for Poly modeling. A mix of C4D & MAX's best features. So Great renderer(& Fast) & excellent modeling tools. Took me about a week to get used to it's "Ergonomics"... And you can customize the "Keyboard Shorts" to better fit your style. I'm just surprise it took them this long to Make this GEM Available to the rest of the world... Marco
