Glad you like it. Blender is amazing. Hard to believe it's free huh. We'll make a Open Source convert of you yet w00d.
Yup, I like it but unfortunately I can't use it ... ... For one I don't have the 'power' as this APP needs a power house of a machine to use otherwise as in my case you'll be waiting forever for tasks to finish ... but the BIG reason I can't use it is because I can't use it, I just don't have the required sills ... What I did above is about as much skill I gots ...
Most of these type apps, including video editing, rely heavily on the graphics processor. On the other hand a new computer wouldn't be a bad thing.
Yes fast 3D does require a fast GPU, however you actually you need both a fast GPU and a fast CPU, if one or the other is slow your 3D will suffer! And there again for what it's it worth having built enough of these system even that is still too much of a generalization ... Beside I never mentioned the "CPU" specifically nor implied as was the assumption, I said "power house of a machine" and there I'm referring to the entire machine ... Well {LOL} everything between the Keyboard and the Monitor ... but certainly excluding any 'wetware'
