Quote - dont know if the ppa will work with windoze (RV is a linux fan) but can get builds off graphicall or buildbot, there good for testing out new stuff but have to warn you sometimes thenew stuff breaks the old stuff ;-) ps grab the zips not the exe files blender dosn't have to be installed and will work from anywhere
I just installed the new version and it took the place of my older version without a hitch. It seems to be working pretty well. I did have to tell it where to save my blend files but that's not a problem at all. I would rather navigate to the folder myself anyway, as it lets me decide where I want it.
I mostly use Blender for model creations for use in other programs, of which I have a fair amount. For modelling, nothing beats Blender, although Hexagon may be on the same level. I understand Blender more than Hexagon though.
As I wrote in an earlier posting for this thread, I like to use multiple programs to create many of my models. The reason is that certain operation produce a desired effect more easily than others. Blender does complexity really well. I tried modelling a jet engine turbo fan and Blender pulled it of like a champ.
Anyway, thanks for the heads up about the ppa. Apparently you are right about that. Still, I can setup a way to be notified when new versions are released.
Stay awesome!
