I just tried it again after all these years. Version 2.79, 2019. It's still a totally and utter nightmare of a user interface, even after all these years. Uninstalled.

Hi HartyBart, I'm sorry to hear you are so disappointed in Blender. I must admit Blender wasn't, isn't and never will be easy to get in to. No discussion... BUT, Blender has come a LONG way when it comes to GUI design and usage (check out the beta for 2.8 and you'll see what I mean!). I've been using the software on and off since the first public version (almost 20 years ago) and still struggle with certain quirks and still discover new features. Steep learning curve with great rewards if you put your teeth into the beast. Next to DAZ Studio it's my main 3D program and the two can be used in a symbiotic way (mjcTeleBlender). I'm very happy Blender exists, because I never could afford the likes of Maya, 3DSMax and C4D, to mention a few. Ok, that's what I have to say, hope you have more luck with other software!
