Why do Wingsnuts (like myself) say that? 1.) Because the program REALLY is good. It does what it's supposed to. No frills. No spyware. No bogus extras. No grandiose claims of what can be done. (Not including what is said by experienced 3D modelers.) Just box-style subdivision modeling plain and simple. 2.) It's free, if for some reason you don't like it - no money from your pocket. 3.) If you bother checking the Ezboard and Renderosity forums, PuzzledPaul's website, and some other places - you'll find that it's pretty quick to learn. The interface is pretty intuitive if you bother spending a few hours with it. There's no digging through heavy layers of submenus in order to perform a specific operation. 4.) People don't have to pull their hair out figuring how to get blended organic shapes with booleans. I'm not against people using other external programs for modeling, but then again what else competes in the $0 market? (For the price of one lint-wad or the time it takes to download basically. LOL!) If you have the money to spend and another program suits you, then more power to you! * Then again there are some people who couldn't model anything in Wings. (Sorry, no "make art" button in this program either.) In fact there are people who can't model things in 3D period! Then it's up to them to either find the thing they're looking for or ask politely for someone to model it. (Yep, some folks are even kind enough to do this for free if they have the time.)
