unintuitive? compaired to what i'd like to know? I started my graphics experience with programs such as illustrator and photoshop, those programs I found unintuitive, seemingly hundreds of those little tiny buttons with obscure graphics and most of the modeling software is worse. I'm with sharen, reading a 300 page manual is a small price to pay for mastery of a program and anyone would benifit from doing so with almost any program, saying that I created passable images even before reading the manual.
