Hi archdruid

Yes there is a big difference and you make a good point but in my view it depends what you use it for Bryce is techinally a scene Builder and I make engines and space craft. I think you can use even use mspaint to do some animations and drawings that are quite impressive. But you are right every program has its limitations I personally don't like inkscape for personal reasons. I will say though I think Gimp is certainly capable of this tutorial if you know enough about how the program works.

Cheers
