JustLuke, you are my new hero. I agree completely with what you're saying.
"Nice thread, I particularly like the life long 3DS Max user who after 15 minutes realised the power of Blender and it's UI."
I have to ask- how many people on this forum actually know what they're talking about when it comes to 3D? How many have a great deal of exposure to different 3D programs, and have used them in a professional (not indie game related, unless you've worked full-time as a 3D artist) context? I'm not trying to sound insulting, but since everyone on these boards has an opinion about Blender and it versus everything else... I'm left wondering if there's anyone here who has credentials (or weight behind what they're talking about), or whether it's just casual users throwing opinions around without anything behind them.
