Quote - 'Hobby users of big, full-featured modelling applications typically work within a small subset of the full toolset'

I don't think that is necessarily something to be ashamed of. A big application would typically offer several different ways of achieving the same ends, and a group of modellers given the same task will most likely go about it in different ways. That's one of the advantages of the high-end apps: each user is free to choose the tools they get on with the best. > Quote - why this continued pursuit for a new modeling app? ... I wonder how much of this is generated by the quest for that mythical 'easy' 3D modeling app? :)

At the present state of the art, and for most of us, modelling is slightly more work than we feel it should be. My ideal would be this: the world's best modeller comes to my house and sits down in front of the computer. I sit on the sofa and watch what they do on a big screen, while shouting out suggestions. Until I can buy that level of usability off the shelf for the same price as Hexagon 2, there will always be improvements that can be made. :biggrin:
