I tried Blender back in the early days and could not get accustomed to the interface no matter how hard I tried. I saw a lot of potential in the program though.

Someone in another forum (music) mentioned the new beta and it's improved (subjective) interface. I downloaded it and several Youtube tutorials (not available to me in the old days because of slow dialup) and I think I can finally use it.

Kudos to all that have contributed to make it a little more understandable (at least to me).
