Quote - 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.

That's a sound approach. No one programme can be all things for all people and indeed, some features - even if they exist in Blender - are more refined in other apps (thinking of UV-mapping, my least-favourite thing to do).

And yes, I'm a Linux ... um ... proponent? :lol: use it for most stuff except running Poser and PS3. Currently loving Mint 13 Maya... it's the Ubuntu Canonical failed to deliver.
