Yes. Besides of RS I've been using Blender for quite a while now. Compared to older versions the new release is a huge leap foward. I still miss some modeling features, but it's viewport is incredible fast and can handle a huge amount of polygons. Hair rendering is quite good as well. > Checked their web site (http://blender.org) and some of those features > (fluid simulation for example) seem kinda interesting. Probably one of the most impressive features of Blender (avi file - 30 MBytes): http://www10.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sinithue/public/phd/nthuerey_051124_turbadapgrids.avi One of the next releases (maybe already 2.41) will be able to do fluid simulation with inflow/outflow and influences of other moving objects (mpeg file - 6.5 MBytes): http://www10.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sinithue/public/blender/test_movobjmixer.mpg Regards, Andreas -- GMX DSL-Flatrate 1 Jahr kostenlos* + WLAN-Router ab 0,- Euro* Bis 31.12.2005 einsteigen!
