Just spotted this post as I need a good modeller for my needs. I mainly work with Mojoworld for planet wide tearrins & have been frustrated with the need for decent models to be rigged with MojoTree. Heres my finds: 1> Modo - Good allround app steep price :( 2> Maya - Excellent app steep price - high learning curve :( 3> 3DSMax - Excellent app steep price over complex interface :( 4> Rhino - More like a CAD app to my tastes :( 5> Silo - Excellent UI easy to se but lousy object controls:( 6> Lightwave - Excellent but much like 3DSM & Maya 7> Wings3D - Nice easy to use but perhaps too basic 8> Hexagon - Excellent UI, easy to use price not too bad but limited user base. .....Im percevering with Hex at the mo :)) Its all about what you want to be able to do & what the app does for you & at what cost :))) Wz
