Agree with @evil_genius_180

I'm really liking this too.

THERE you go!

Oh and I need to learn Sub D in Lightwave. Yours looks great.

So true that there are people here that do stunning work with it. It obviously does a great job in the hands of a skilled person, but not for me (yet?). Blender is comforting in a sense, because it has momentum and there are programmers pushing it further and it isn't likely to die. To me, the object I'm working on seems kind of "thick" and distant making me feel removed from actually controlling points and polygons. There are a lot of really tiny controls in icon form that I have no idea what they do. It's probably just not being familiar with it yet. I'll say I do like the little rotation control in the upper right (with the x, y, z on it). I've often wished the programmers in Lightwave would change the controls to at least be larger. I commonly miss them and click on the wrong thing because they are so small. But I like Lightwave in so many other ways. I watched a tutorial on UV mapping in Blender and again everything seemed inaccurate and removed a level from what I really wanted to do. The maps were wavy and not straight.

On another note, I remember and have pictures of your former Constellation Class which I thought was the best I'd seen - so I'm really looking forward to the outcome of this ship.
