I haven't used wings, but I hear it's good for certain specific things, but I reckon that as Blender matures it will soon be better :D I want to try using Blender by itself, I truly think this program is fully capable, because I have seen some "shock and awe" Blender-only models on some other sites, I couldn't believe it that they were only done in Blender. Plus, it will make learning and the workflow easier, since I don't have to go bonkers everytime I switch a program, trying to remember how to do so and so in this program, and then "now, how did I do that?" in the other program. :D Anyway, yea, the tab thing, it's gotta be a bug, hopefully it will be fixed by the next version. In the meantime you could try my solution, or try out the intel optimized version I guess. Nice pic by the way, how did you do that yellow and pink thing at the far right bottom corner? Is that an explosion or a glob thing? :D
