I used to still have those, but lord knows where they are now.
I think I still have the TD love tour they did for launching that, or was

Too long ago now.

I side with Sven on the matter.

Aren't we past being precious about the usage of this list since the EOL.
Things here have pretty much ground to a halt on the list and there are

Yeah I agree entirely with what Raf said.

I don't know you guys but I'm open to hear about any application, plugin or

Me too, I started with 4.2. I've used Ligthwave a few months before that and it

But it wasn't until I was forced to study and use Maya 6 at work when I

If Blender can do stuff at the same level than commercial DCCs, or if it

For modeling, you may actually want to have a look at Maya 2016.
