Thanks for the link Peter, I checked out Blender, and I must say, the stuff some people have made with it is fantastic. That said, to get going is harder than I though with the layout not being very intuitive and having to buy the docs to get started. If these guys keep working on

You don't really need to buy the docs to get started. There are plenty of tutorials on the web. If you still like it afterwards, buy the docs ;-) I agree that the learning curve is very steep. I used Blender before (came with better Linux distros as payware demo since 1999 or before). I am very impressed by the speed even on substandard hardware and by the *size*. This is a 3d animation studio with game scripting capability that weighs in under 3Megs !!! Microsloth has a lot to learn about getting animations right and code small (and fast!).
