"I want to learn Blender3D but find it's interface too hard to grasp..."- I hear you on that one. Blender shows its non-Windows origins in its interface, but it has some excellent capabilities, some of which Carrara can't touch yet such as fluid simulation. I heard that an upcoming ver. may have a more "user-friendly" interface, so I plan to keep trying it. Maybe it will eventually sink in,lol. Ysvry figured it out and does some great stuff with it.
