Please post a link to the interview you were reading. Sounds really interesting.

I've been playing around with it today, and it has allot of potential.... but now it's up to me to release it user added image

The UI is very confusing to me. Having used the Maya Ui for so long. I've just now figured out how to create multiple Layers and apply them to Objects. It seems like a pretty decent modeling rig as well. It seems to have all the necessary tools, though i doubt it would anything on Maya :bow:

I've not figured out how to UV map objects yet, but a friend of mine gave me a TON of tuts so I'm going to get learning.

Though the fact that i can't export my textures to .psd is going to be a pain. Plus all the M's coated everywhere.

But, I'm looking forward to hopefully adding this software to my tool box. If i can get the hang of it that is... user added image
