I notice the manual of Anim8or software had been updated in some parts in 2014.  Good to see author making work on it.  I read some of the features, and it look to improve very much so.  The modelling tools are very good, and the rendering and materials seem to be updated too.  Easy to use.  Could be a good software to try out again.

I think it missing the power of keyboard shortcuts, and can not handle many polygons, are the weaknesses.  Anyone use it of recent times?
