UE2 - UT2kX OMG, WTF BLENDER !!?? ;)

[madspacemarinemustdie]

Soo, I have decided to use a lot of open source stuff. After a few minutes of cursing and shouting I found Gimp quite good and powerful. I'm not sure if I need Photoshop ever again.

But Blender...

I am only modeling a bit for fun, and only really tried max, but WHAT THE HELL! Is there even a way for a 4 screen layout? I can't even find a configuration menu.

Does anyone have tips for getting into Blender?

heh. yeah, blender is quite ... different. The GUI is unlike anything i've ever seen.

There is a way to split screen anyway you like: (I hope this helps)

If you are completely new to blender (as I assume). I'd recommend that you'd check from "n00b to pro" wikibook. It's good for learning the GUI and modeling in blender in general.:

It's been awhile since I used 3dmodelers. But I recall that with blender I actually got used to use just one viewport and change it when nescessary.

Figured someone would have an idea how to make Blender easier to use, with all the pros here. Thanks!
