Well given that I am looking at it as a one time thing (for now at least) I might have a look at MD2 later.  The issue is of course the multi-hundred price tag if you want to do anything commercial, where as, with another app, once you make it, if it is your own design it is yours to do with as you like.

Let alone possible copyright issues if you aren't using your own patterns but someone elses for MD2.  Can sewing patterns be copyrighted?  Probably, especially if they were one of the designer lines you can get now.

Just my thought, I suppose if you were only doing non-commercial stuff less of a concern, but I have seen discussion of its possible commercial use elsewhere here.  Honestly, how many of us know how to draft an actual pattern?  Well I do, I did historical costuming for several years, but most people have no clue.   I would be curious just to see how well it would handle some of the period patterns I have kicking about though, ungodly number of bits and pieces to be put together.

I think part of my wanting to do it in Hex or some other modeling app is that this way I also pick up the basics of modeling in general at the same time.  Might finally inspire me to learn it if it is for something I need for a project I am working on.

The samples of what you have done look good though, Mazak, does make it a tempting option.
