I'd used a couple of CAD packages from earlier days and GMax seemed to be
similar except in 3D. I could work with the three views up on screen
together with the full 3D view in the bottom corner - that made sense to me.
In Blender it was hard setting up views in the first place because you have
to define camera and lighting positions first. Both require a material
wrapping to each surface which then holds the texture and I can do this in
GMax without much effort but not so in Blender. Get the process slightly
wrong and although the object looks fine you get endless MAV BLOCK failures
as you compile..

I built a shed and a windsock with GMax once. To me, it was the most
incredibly obtuse program ever. So I was interested to see you say it is
intuitive. Sketchup is many times easier to use the way my brain works.
Even my son Josh a couple of years ago when he was 11 could build things in
Sketchup.

I'm trying to get my head round Blender right now but it is such a different
interface to GMax that I find it very slow work. It is far less intuitive to
me. What doesn't help is that I'm trying to export a GMax model into Blender
so I have both on screen at the same time. That is doubly confusing.. :)

Having very little experience of 3D modelling, primarily with 3D Studiomax,
Blender and Google's Sketchup, my hat goes off to Mike James.
It seems there is another 3D design program in town - Luxology Modo 601

If PMDG are considering a 787 then this guy has done much already!

Or this maybe - watch the video, extremely impressive

Possibly Flight-like if there is a fee to connect to the Outerra world
