Well, I think I am going to start by learning how to use blender. #cosorealms
It's a pretty joyous program to use imho.
I'm still learning the ins and outs myself but what I have learned is INCREDIBLY powerful and gives a lot in terms of creativity.
The fact that it also ships with a Python API is *chefs kiss*
@KAutumnrain awesome! I have watched a couple tutorials and I’m excited. Been doing engineering 3D modeling for like 23 years. I used 3DS Max a few times in college and I’m a fairly creative person so I am hoping this won’t be too hard to wrap my head around. It definitely looks powerful.
I haven't used too much Max but my late stepfather used it for work.
I can't imagine you'll have too much difficulty wrapping your head around it. I don't know if it's particularly 'easy' to approach but with your experience especially the workflow *should* fall into place pretty readily from my understanding.
@KAutumnrain cool, yeah it seems like it will be pretty intuitive, but I’m just going to jump in and see what I can do!
