I find Blender to be a massive pain to use.  I can't import my models into it
from povray, which is the only place I ever create models, and the interface is
a clunky mass of mystery meat.

Aside from that, you're left trying to find a triangle resolution that doesn't
leave the surface looking patchy.

I tried using Megapov's cloth simulator, once, and felt that there were way too
many parameters.

And lastly, sometimes it's more fun to do things the hard way, and sometimes,
the hard way is actually better than the easy way.

but, as you will.

I posted the link because I found the article interesting.
