I Totally agree. Anyhoo. as for thank you's. I want to thank the kind person for linking me from here to Truespace 7.6. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
I have finally started using this software for modelling after painstakingly following a tutorial for the basic opperation of the program. As i have said before, I will give any software a very good go at, to see if I can use it and understand how it works. I have tried lightwave as a demo and found it very hard to use as I did with maya. However, with Truespace I found working with the tutorials quite easy and after a few false starts learned the very basics.
It is going to be a long road like it was with blender but I am loving it.
A HUGE THANKS GOES OUT TO THOSE GENEROUS PEOPLE WHO SHOW ME THE WAY.
