I downloaded it and played with it for a few minutes, looks really nice. I'm going to try to learn how to use it just as soon as I have some spare time.

Yeah, Blender rocks... It was originally a commercial 3D product, but a few years ago their company NaN (Not A Number) went under, and the developement stopped. Through donations they raised like $100,000 and were able to make it open source for everyone. Which is nice... since not everyone has $2,000 to spend on 3D products like Maya. :)

I'm looking foward to trying out the new gaming engine... I think we need a webmaster street fighting game..lol. |club|
