Yep , great news.
For characters i do all modeling i nanother software, but for
level making or 3D Assets , animations , Blender is The Tool for me.
It will ba a long time to wait (October) before using the new interface
I've suggest possibility to import in WED directly a model in FBX format, in Blender format like Unity do would be the ultimate thing.
With 2.5, i hope all people will have a tool to modelise, animate and import in A7 without using 6 or 7 tools
And overall Blender is FREE !!
