i love blender. and im afraid to use panda because of proggraming. anyone can prove me wrong?

[thomasegi]

@fullgrown31 i once was a blender-person ,too . with no coding skills. all i can say is that it is worth the trouble of learning it. in the end, learning python (the language used for panda) got me a job.

[fullgrown31]

@thomasegi hey. so you use panda, right? so could you help me get started on python?(where did you get started?) and have you used unity3d?(lots say unity is the best) is it more easier or powerful than panda? or the other way around? constructive criticism please.

[thomasegi]

@fullgrown31 your question would've been answered on page 3 of the panda manual. about unity.. it does not fit my needs. what is "the best" for you, depends on your needs. learning python is a good idea anyway.

Great stuff! Where and How did you learn all of this? I find blender very hard to master with thousands of features!

[thomasegi]

one feature at time.

@badbreath778 Check out the latest version of Blender, 2.57. It's great. They completely redesigned the interface to make it easy. I hated the old interface just like you, and I used to use commercial modeling programs. Now I'm a Blender-only guy! I love it.

@thomasegi waw. that quickly inspired me.

@Twinfun2

Hey thanks, I had the same problem as yours, now I know it's because of the path. I'm gonna report that bug.

Meanwhile, just save the egg file(s) at the root, C:\ in windows
