Well, being a Winger and all, I don't fault Blender for being a bad app; more that it tries to do everything...jack of all trades and such. It can be a powerful app, but I barely know how to use the most simple things in it..;)

There's thousands of modeling programs out there, Wings is just easier to pick up (the right and middle mouse buttons are your fren..;) and as noted, free.

Poser is best for doing people, so if that's what you want to do, it works fine. If you want landscapes, there's Bryce, Terragen(free), and Mojoworld, etc.

There's no reason to limit yourself to Poser. I tend to end up there in my pics, but that's after modeling objects in Wings, exporting to Bryce, making backgrounds for use in Poser (and thumbnails in the Gimp, a free Photoshop-like program). To a hammer, every problem looks like a nail, fill up your toolbox with other programs as well.

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
