warlock you did make some valid points but i will add this

there are some users that do model professionaly in blender but because they use those meshes in other programs blender is left out of the mentions

and with the newest push towards a lower cost and higher profits more studios are looking for a shareware alternative for the modeling but the standard few are still the go-to renderers

if people love blender the way i do they get the word out and support it
