3dCoat looks much more advanced, but although I can run the demo, all the buttons are blank and I don't know what I'm supposed to click. I'll keep trying.

Strange, 3D-Coat run well on my Ubuntu 8.10 with wine 1.01, work far faster on Linux than Vista on the same computer

I have the version 2.10.05 installed, not tried the 3.0 alpha, but a Linux native version is on work and will come on Q1 2009
