There's a new version (2.31a) that can be download at www.blender.org.
Yes I know the learning curve appears to be be steep but ther's been alot of changes lately...
- New UI that, in my opinion, makes it easy to master ;
- New User guide (on pre-sale at Blender e-shop for 40 USD - will be shipped in January) with CD
Keeping track of the development of this free software, there's always new script that makes it competitive with other 3D apps.
For example :
- Nurbana source code (a free 3D Nurbs modeling tool) will be incorporated into the open source 3D modeling package Blender ;
- Raytracing is now possible (again) within Blender ;
etc.
Tons of tutorial can be found at www.elysiun.com in the forum section under Blender General.
I'ved tried Wings, Swift 3D and found them great also but I'm putting time into Blender to tried and master it...
This is my latest creation (WIP) with Ray tracing.
