Many thanks & cheers! :)

And truly eternal thanks to Mr. Lipka for SSLT, I couldn't live without it
anymore! :D

Actually, I've modelled all my alien life form creatures in TopMod. Of course I
generally strive for doing as much as possible in POV only, but I've found that
these objects are easiest to create with this nice and small program. Usually I
don't feel at home with actual modellers at all, but TopMod has become to stand
out as a weird and twisted exception. :D Otherwise it's just some one or two
features I use here and there in other programs, for example Silo 2 Pro I tend
to use only rarely for some vertex adjustments, and Wings3D tends to give the
best results in subdivisions. PoseRay then for .obj to .pov conversion, and
that's mostly about it with other tools. POV all the way in everything else
then. :)

About blobs, those are on my yet-to-understand-better list of the features I
still need to study more to get satisfactory results.
