                      Yep, I saw that. Very cool, isn't it? Though I can't figure out how to get it working with Blender? Could someone tell me how? ๐Ÿ˜›

                        Rendering a smoke sim as I speak, so I'll post some screenies from it asap. I'm using a cloud texture to give an illusion of extremely high-res smoke. Maybe it'll work.

                        G'day!

                              Downloaded Blender 2.58 about a week ago. I think the new UI has made such a difference. I tried the previous version several times but just could not get on with it but this new one is so much easier to use. Well, easier in that it has a more user friendly interface but the learning curve is still pretty steep though. At least I managed to create an image with this one - which is more than I managed before.Very basic but a start.

                                OMG ! This is Sandbox under Blender !!! I dreamed about it some many times !!! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

                                EDIT : This is much much more than the SandBox Tool !!! Exactly what Blender was missing for me !!

                                          Not generous Rick, I really need this tool. In general, I bought any app is involved in retopology. ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                          But I read this:

                                            Bsurfaces looks promising..

                                            Anyway, as well as a Blender discussion thread, it is also a gallery for blender art!

                                            So, here's a screenshot of a model I've made recently.

                                            It's a dropship. There was a version with propellors instead of engines, so tell me if you'd to see it!
