You stroke 2 sensitive spots there for me, Truespace and Amiga 500. Till this day I consider Amiga 500 the best computer ever existed though I only owned an Amstrad CPC 6128 sadly Green screen monitor , making my eyes see all pink :D cause my father found Amigas too expensive. Till this day I disagree.
I have used Truespace much later on windows and I loved its icon based interface and ease of use. Lovely 3d program. Blender is nuclear power compared to those old relics. 3d is without any exaggeration one of most technically complex fields of computing. So you feelings are absolutely normal. If you really want to learn blender and look for the easy way , then your best shot is blendercookie. It has tons of blender tutorials , they are loads of fun and all free ---> http://cgcookie.com/blender/ I find till this day video tutorials the best way to learn blender. They may be slow , but they build confidence and give you a lot more satisfaction than randomly trying on your own. ________________________________ From: Esteban A.

Also played with POVray and 3D studio 4 (MSDOS). Today Blender is like a thousand levers machine to me. I simply can't understand it. But I have it installed, just in case the enlightenment comes. :) Regards! -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/what-is-your-pharo-story-tp4651655p4651890.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
