My last post about Gimp was as I suspected. And what happened was thatafter a few posts, the constant battle of GUI's came up. It's funnyhow certain things are constant, and how reluctant some people are oflearning a new interface for some things ... [More] (while sometimes it just getsaccepted).A few situations the interface is blocking because1.) It's so off from what others are doing2.) It goes against all logicI've only found 2 application that actually has these two points (intheir own way).BlenderIt's "off" because of how you interact with objects. No otherapplication in the world has this kind of behavior. While you can overcome it, it's still blocking and not a very intuitive way of working.Blender users might disagree, but as a user of many programs I muststill say that it is NOT good for anything. You can change thebehavior in the preferences, but it is STILL a far cry from how othersare doing it. And there is a good reason why others have it as theydo. Picking and Selecting things should NOT be an issue. The rest ofthe GUI is fine, it's different, but so are other applications. WhileINTERACTION should never be different.I have high hopes for 2.5 since I can then convert even more people toblender. I still love to work in blender, but I would really like tosee them change the interaction part. It's off, and it is what everynew user is complaining about.Z-BrushGoes against all logic. Sorting menus by alphabetic order?? gimme me abreak... And that you have to read tutorials about how to exportdisplacment maps to various programs... And this is by far myfavorite, the displacment map is actually the alpha that you export.And the "viewport" you have is a document, so you can't really zoom inand out but you scale the model.As you can see Gimp is not amongs them, because the GUI actuallyfollows the common guidelines of what a application should look like.When people said that it "should look and act as photoshop" I thinkthose people are narrow minded fools, and my follow up question wouldbe "so which version of photoshop should the aim for then?".If you look at Photoshop 4.0 and Photoshop CS4 they are quitedifferent. So just tell me which version it is. And if the answer is"shortcuts", just google it....So people... let me know what you think! [Less]

Katsbits.com use the sculpt tool to make a house look a LOT older.From the tutorial:'Ageing' a model is one of the more tricky aspects of 3D, making it looked 'used' in such a way that it appears natural and random, like its falling to bits under its own weight; normally this would mean some extensive [...]
