Yep, and it's just as easy for someone whose
never used it to say that it's hard. Anything will seem "hard" if you don't know the first thing about it. But that's why you've got to take the time to learn it. I see so many people (not nessacarily on these forums) pass over Blender just because they open it for the first time, and then say; "
this is too hard, I need to go out and spend $3,000 on Max. Since it costs so much, it must mean that I'll automatically be a pro at it once I buy it." But that's not the case. Max is just as "hard" as Blender, if you don't know the first thing about it.
I'm not trying to insult you or anything, and granted you won't learn Blender in a day. When I first started using it, I didn't know what I was doing either. Though, I was also using Max (trial) for the first time, and didn't know what I was doing with it just the same. So, after a month or so of working with Blender and getting used to it's interface and its hotkeys, I got the hang of it, and now I have a very effective modeling program, and an extra $3,000 in my bank account.
But, good luck with whatever program you chose to go with.
