Incredible!  Yet more evidence that Blender is the greatest 3d software on Earth, and can compete even with the "mighty Max" for modelling.  Anyone on a shoestring budget like myself, interested in 3d creation needs to take a serious dive into Blender.  They won't be sorry, once they discover what they can really do.

Blender is awesome, but  I wouldn't jump the gun in calling it the greatest 3d software on earth just yet.  Coming over to it from 3dsmax myself, I'm finding Blender very incohesive in it's functionality and tool design.  It's convenient in some ways, then extremely unintuitive and lacking in others.  It's not apparent until you try doing the same stuff in it that you've done for years in other very capable software.  The 'Blendheads' in the other forums (not here, but Blenderartists and other places) love to say that Blender has it's "clever" ways of doing things, and some features in other apps aren't necessary, and left out of the design on purpose.  This is just nonesense in the highest order. The Blender forum on this site is the only place I've come across, so far, where knowledgable users are helpful and honest without being openly biased.  Blender can do some things extremely well, and it is impressive in many respects, but it's not a perfect application.  No software is perfect for that matter.
