N.P.
I've been playing around with it, the interface remiinds me a little of
blender although I'm quite blind in it. I will have dl the guide.

Let us know how you do with it. There are quite a few people here
that are interested in a good NURBS modelling program.

Sure thing, although right now I'm up to my neck in blender. So a really
good look at it will have to wait for for now.

Have you used blender? The interface I feel is rather obtuse, but the more I
use it the easier it becomes. It also helps that Blender has a strong user
following too.

Fair enough.

Actually no, I have not tried blender. The general consensus on c.g.r.r.
however is that the interface in not very intuitive. A couple of people
that I know of are now dedicated to it so it seems to show some promise.

They are right. Blenders interface leaves a lot to be desired, but I have
been finding it easier since I've downloading some tutorials from some
blender sites. Also they have no online help system at all, so every time
you need to find a question you will have to either go online and hunt for
it or they do sell a manual. This of course just makes me appreciate all the
work put into POV-Ray all the more.
The good news about blender is once you start to get over the initial
learning curve, Blender has a lot to offer. Once I am more confident with
blenders interface I will begin work on a multi-part tutorial that goes from
modeling in blender to exporting, to conversion, to rendering in POV-Ray.
Hmmm.....I think I must have bumped my head....

I have been using blender since at least 1.55 (probably one or 2
versions earlier),
and I really had major problems at first, but within a few days (much
less than for
3Dstudio Max R2) I was able to do quite advanced stuff, and the
tutorials available
are quite good, but as stated by others it's very hard at first, but
spacekey is your
friend ;).

On to nurbana, I have played a little with it now, and it seems to be
waaay to 
early in development to be useful, but is does show promise, and it has
quite a 
quick interface (very blenderlike). But in a while it should be usable.

And I agree, that spacebar has a special place in my heart. I am finding it
much easier to operate (thanks to the tutorials) but there are a few areas
I'm not quite certain about. The tutorial are good, but sometimes they can
be sketchy. Hopefully the v2 will have some of their interface issues worked
out and provide a on-line help. That would really polish the app nicely.

Since you have some experience with Blender may I e-mail you a question or
two if I have a problem?
