No doubts that Blender is a very powerful tool my friend,lol. I just couldn't summon enough logic to utilyze its "Vulcan" interface.;-) I am learning the ins and outs of Carrara 5, which attracted me because of its feature set,its price, and because it is Bryce-like in a lot of ways. C5 had just about every feature that I wanted and some I didn't even know I needed, but I'm glad they're there because they allow room for growth, in a familiar environment. I admire folks who can wrestle with the complexities of Blender like you and Pidgy! I bow in the general direction of Europe.:-)
