going to be gone today - better hurry

I'm learning Blender. Can't beat $0.

You can if the application is intuitive to use from the get go. I have blender installed as well but rigging is awkward as is most things. I tried rigging a character in blender by following some tutorials and still never found the right way to do it. In messiah Studio demo I imported my model, added an auto rig clicked two buttons and that was it. Fully rigged for animation and just worked.

Sometimes $10 or $40 is worth the lack of problems. he he.

I bought the pro version for mac and the basic version for windows.

I'm still exploring Blender, it has a lot of potential as a mesh painter too - but as it is so big it is cumbersome and confusing to use. Still - for the odd bit of rigging, uv unwrapping & low poly modelling it is my new favorite.

The last thing I modelled, I sketched in Curvy first to get accurate front and side renders - then I used those as a backdrop to make a low poly model in Blender.

It is weird and fiddly - but if you slow right down and use all the tutorials available it is a powerful piece of tech.

While I'm taking this thread off-topic I'll recommend Inkscape again - a lovely free 2D vector program (Like Illustrator + extras!).
