yes, i love blender, and i really hope it did bring a lot of improvements.

but i guess given how much i enjoyed their movie projects, i was expecting something better designed. you could say it's quite robust -- consistently that bad .

i did have a look at videos, and much of the time it appeared they had the same issues i was having.

also, it'll be a while before i get over the fact i wasn't allowed to stand on a waist-high tree-stump.

but i'm glad it was good for blender.
