Your concern over the interface of 3DS is right-on target. I have
had the product for a couple of years, but have had difficulty
getting others to use it because THE LEARNING CURVE IS TOO LONG. The
curve is long, not because of the technology or vocabulary which must
be overcome, but because the product is not well constructed from a
new-user point of view. Sure, it is VERY powerful, but it takes too
damn long to figure out how to use it all. I think AutoDesk could
learn something from studying a program like CorelDraw. I quite like
the new CorelDraw interface. Very powerful, but direct. What do you
think?
