Have any of you tried Blender?
http://www.blender.org/ A friend who works at Trion and another who works for Lucas Arts Films suggested the program... and it is free. I've been a stubborn promoter for 2D only, but am softening up and trying out 3D now- I just need to be able to afford the software like AutoCad or Cinema4D. Let me know if any of you have tried Blender.
