The quickstarts at Blender3d.org are a good start. It's actually a very powerful app and you can't beat the price.

I still have problems understanding the UI of Blender, but anyway, here are his words: In Antwort auf: blender rockt! =)..THX A LOT. gone crazy on finding a way to do the job of this script. give blender a try- at least 1 or 2 weeks Perhaps this post will get me points for originality at least. Check out Dungeon Deities! It's amazing and will make you happy, successful and almost certainly more attractive! It might be true!

Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 105, in gui File "<string>", line 197, in export File "<string>", line 180, in get_triangles IndexError: list index out of range However a simple polygon worked, so seems some object parameter is not healthy. Well, I will find out ;-) echo '16i[q]sa[ln0=aln100%Pln100/snlbx]sbA0D4D465452snlbxq'\|dc
