Thanks, guys.  No bashing here.  I respect this forum.  So far, it hasn't shown itself to be full of the typical superiority behavior that many people complain about in other Blender related forums.  In no way do I intend to bash Blender.  I WILL continue to make software comparisons.  There is absolutely nothing about that which should be considered bashing, so long as it's FACTUAL, and honest.  If something is said which is proven incorrect, I welcome that.  I want to learn to use this software, and having knowledge of other software, one can't help but make comparisons, in order to dig for answers, and get results.  So far, I think this is the best Blender forum I've ever seen, in the way of open-minded discussion, and UNBIASED knowledge sharing.  I hope we continue that going forward.  And that will be my final word on the matter.

Thank you, Pauljs75 for your insight and open opinion.  I appreciate that.  Thanks also, luxxeon, for correcting me in my statement earlier.  I do remember Deeppaint 3d, now that you mention it, and you're right... that was probably the first software to have that feature!  I totally forgot about that, but wow.  How far ahead of it's time was that, looking back now?  Anyway, I totally retract that comparison in hindsight.  My apologies to the forum for that.
