Animating Doors and similar

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Animating Doors and similar

I use Milkshape too, but only for animated characters, otherwise I end up tearing my hair out.

I know that the choice of an editor is always personal.
A lot of people use 3DSmax (how can they afford it?) but when I tried a copy I thought it was the silliest layout and design I've ever seen in any software.

For the opposite reason I like Metasequoia.
I knew nothing about modelling when I started, and the manual is in Japanese - and I learned! How good does that make the program???

Anyone who does take to it - I have a pretty much complete english manual I could send you.

One of the things I'd like to see on the Blitz site would be a chart (database?) of which modellers everyone uses, and why.
I must admit I still live in hope of finding the ideal modeller (instead of using 2,3 or even 4 to get a job done), but most of the time when I try a new one I just end up laughing hysterically.
