CLAYTON WALKER  Wonderful little application, this one turned out to be, I'm loving it.

It's fast, simple, easy to use, and no drawbacks whatsoever.

Some people I talk to recommended that I cut down on my time used up by launching everything either from the dock or from the Applications folder, and once I tried this, I fell in love with it. I recommend this one above all else. Nicely done, Dev.  
(Version 3.6.4)

CLAYTON WALKER  Just a quick add-on to what I have previously said, none of the 2.4x series work well with a MacBook with an GMA950 graphics card. If you have one of these cards, its best to just wait, or try one of the test builds of Blender 2.5. The official release date of 2.5 is currently unknown, but it's expected to be released sometime this October.  
(Version 2.49a)

CLAYTON WALKER  Some people have asked where you could download Blender 2.5, but it is not yet even released as a beta or alpha. you can, however, download the latest build of Blender 2.5 at http://www.graphicall.org  
(Version 2.49rc2)

CLAYTON WALKER  I am going to start off by saying, this is the best 3d modeling/animating/rendering program I have ever used. It may not be he easiest program ever, but if you stick with it and read a couple of online tutorials, you'll get the hand of it pretty quickly.

I am also going to say that the versions 2.4x WILL NOT work on a MacBook with a GMA950 integrated graphics card. I know from experience that only Blender 2.5 with an updated triple buffer will work properly.

Some say that the interface is clunky and that the key-strokes are also hap-hazardly put into Blender. This is not the case, and if one tries to actually put a bit of time into Blender, it will grow on you.

All in all, I find Blender to be one truly amazing program, and in my eyes, the best valued 3d program out there. So, blend on!
