When I first considered using 3D software, back in maybe 2000, I was looking at a TrueSpace ad, but it was priced at $1000 back then and was too rich for me. So I ended up buying Raydream Studio for about $400, and was my first 3D program. So I've always known about TrueSpace, but never looked. Of course, I've since used Cinema 4D, Nichimen Mirai, but now just using Vue Creator for most of my stuff while modeling in Wings 3D, but am beginning to dabble with Blender.
