Any creative types on here use Blender? I& #39;m sure after 20 years of using 3DS Max that jumping ship isn& #39;t the best idea, but I& #39;m drawn to it and the community.

All I& #39;ve managed to model tonight is this...thing... so I doubt I& #39;ll be making the jump quite yet.

I did a half hour tutorial (Which literally took three hours because of kids) and got this far. So weird spending so long doing something I could knock up in 3 minutes in 3DS Max but I& #39;ll get there.

I haven& #39;t gotten much further but I vaguely know how to texture now. Anyway, I must get out and enjoy the sun.

This is shonky as hell, but I modeled/textured it by myself in five minutes without a tutorial so I& #39;m starting to feel braver.

Next step - I need to find out how to bump map/specular. Even before I begin working out animation etc. I can& #39;t be dealing with that plastic shine.
