Has Adobe lost connection with its users?
In 1999 I downloaded a new, exciting program called Blender. It was my chance to learn 3D modeling, something that I wanted to do for a long time. Since I didn’t have the money for something like 3D Studio Max, Blender was just the ticket. After learning the fundamentals I decided to make a first model, a big letter “J” extruded in 3D, with nuts and bolts holding together, as if it was built out of steel.
