What 3D modeler do you use?
Just curious.  This is specifically what software you use for modeling for FS, if you use something else for other modeling tasks.

Re: What 3D modeler do you use?
Blender 2.49.  when 2.5x was launched it's collada exporter was borked iirc and by the time 2.6x arrived I had lost interest in learning the new interface as I have learned most of the keyboard short cuts I use on a regular and semi-regular basis and 2.49 does what I want it to do.

Re: What 3D modeler do you use?
3dsmax. Thing with most of these "other" selections is that you need to use Blender (to convert) anyway. So they don't really count, IMO :P

Re: What 3D modeler do you use?
Blender 2.6, latest and greatest. The interface didn't change that much from 2.49 (I think 95% of the keyboard shortcuts still work the same), and the Collada exporter is functional again AFAIK.

Re: What 3D modeler do you use?
things like centre to cursor have changes and the space bar command now involves a command search rather than a menu of things to add or edit are the two changes that stand out

The "Add object" menu was moved to Shift-A, which makes waaaay more sense IMO.  (I'll admit I still accidentally hit the space bar sometimes.)

Been using Wings 3d since 2005, when I started modeling.  Blender for the rigging and preparation for import to PCS2.  Recently started learning 3ds max 13.

Wings 1.3.1

I tried a more recent version but went back to 1.3.1 when I discovered they had made an optional feature into on-with-no-way-to-disable :mad: Specifically, "temporary selections"

Re: What 3D modeler do you use?
im supprised all the people who still use truespace havent upgraded to the free ts7 yet. granted ts 7 is bloated, compared to the version i used to use (ts6, though many of my early models were made with ts4), and i hated it. ts6 had the uv mapping editor that truespace always lacked (i hated lithunwrap because it made you hop formats which shedded your models), so it was good, and i figured out a technique for proper smooth grouping. unfortunately that was around the time i said "**** it im switching to max", so i never employed those techniques on many of my ts models.
