Quote - I want to learn how to do 3D modelling.  I know that both Blender and Wings are free so I have both.  The Blender interface looks like it has a lot more options.  I'm just wondering which has the best learning curve for new users, particularly so that you can move the camera around easily to see what you're working on.

Blender has more capability but I find wings much easier to learn although I think camera movement in Blender is easier once you get the hang of it. They both have thier pros and cons.
I prefer to model in Wings and Uvmap in Blender.
