I have now given Blender a good test, and I am hooked. The user interface is a bit weird at first, but it grows on you, and I expect it to be quite easy to use once I get the hang of it. The software features are perfect for this: GNU Free software with open source. Good and accurate polygon mesh modeling. Boolean operations (CSG objects). Type-in transforms and grid snapping for precise editing. Object pivot points and object linking. Python plugins can be written to support LDR import/export. Active development. Good documentation and tutorials. A large number of users. Wow. I have found a new toy. :) Now I have a good reason to learn Python. Stefan

(...) I just read this about the latest Blender release: "completely rewritten and upgraded mesh modeling" That looks promising. I'll definitely try it out! Stefan (replying to his own posts...) (19 years ago, 6-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
