If you are new to the whole concept of working in 3D environments, and want to jump right in and avoid the interface complexities of the really snazzy programs until later. I would have to agree that Nendo, is the way to go. I knew next to nothing about 3d modeling, and after 2 days with Nendo, I was cranking out... anything I could think of, ...fast! I am starting to look around at apps that provide more options now, but I credit Nendo with providing the bridge. Again.. www.nichimen.com
