Hi Alfonso, I've used the software (just playing) to make several head models, a hand, and some cave models to fly (swim) through. I assume the PXP has an interactive user interface similar to you DOS and Windows versions. Some miscellaneous comments in no special order: I liked having all the buttons available on one screen in the Windows version. I had difficulty in zooming and setting the view efficiently in both versions. I did not like the relationship between the final mesh density and the number of blobs – as I added more blobs and made a larger model I would have liked to have more density in the mesh. I had trouble with occasional extra faces on the surface of the mesh which gave problems with smoothing – requiring manual face/vertex editing. I noticed some inconsistencies in the operation of the buttons in the user interface. I liked the quick shading previews. I'd like a way to add a blob to an existing mesh that was perhaps made by another method, for example to a side of a box. I haven't had a chance to use the program since the first time or two, so I can't remember anything else just now. JKJ
