//Seems to me that with all of the multimedia rush and subsequent need for sophisticated //3d modeling tools, there would be a great need for modeling tools suited for creating //organic forms. It is really tough creating realistic humanoids using polygon-based tools //(could just be my lack of expertise). I agree, still a lot of people model objects which are very simmetrical and common: chairs, tables, airplanes etc. Others are doing cartoon characters and weird objects that require some new tools and paradigms – such as blobs. //I have only played once with the Meta Editor, it makes the task easy (I do not normally //work on an SGI) . They have a great menu system that can be activated anywhere on //the screen and in essence allows you to change tools without takig your eyes off of the //image you are working on. I used the META Editor for a few weeks and it was an awesome program. >>Be aware that Blob Sculptor is a program that the Blob Team is developing for fun and in our spare time.<< //Is this because you think the market is too small? you have better things to do to //actually earn a living? or you just want to make sure it stays fun? fun is good Alfonso
