How true! My safety line dropped several times in the abyss! Oh well, I 
really should start one day reading that documentation...

The textures are maybe a bit washed out to begin with. Oh well.

Its not so hard to learn. UVMapper is a good program, and free.

Ha ha, I like your description. Mine would tend more towards the psychotic
side. When I decided to learn Blender, someone told me I should do the
"Gus" tutorial. Let's just say that "Gus" is not my friend any more. (But
seriously, its a good tutorial to go through).

Yes, read, read, do tutorials...read...
The spacebar IS the menu system, really.

Glad you like 'em, Bill. :)

Thanks Steve. Sorry they don't have cores, but I could try to model some
with cores if you like. ;)

That sounds like "How to lose your friends in 20 lessons"  :-)  (probably 
would need less than that, even...)

Thanks Janet! Good advice!

Good but with a problem: I don't expect the highlights to be coloured like 
your's. Aparently, you used metallic in your finish. It may explain why the red 
apple looks TO red to me.

Hi Alain, Yes, you are right that I used metallic. I tried without, but
then, I tried a lot of things. I'd say that realism was not the only
objective I had here. Maybe a bit of surrealism too. :) The image seemed
more appealing to me this way than with the whiter highlights.
