When I see such thing, I just can't do anything but express my totally negative opinion. Would you explain in details to the people why something is black and not white at all, if you clearly see that the thing is black? Would you hold yourself easily from saying something rude, when there is a sign under the black thing, saying "This thing is white"? The blog-post defined this video as good by no means and that was the most irretating for me. It is very hard to produce so-called "constructive" critics when you see a totally "incorrect" behaviour.

Most of those otehr apps are newer then blender and focus only on modeling. Every so often parts of blender get recoded to make them more up to date, EditMesh is in for a recode at the moment and work is being done to improve it. I find the attitude "Blender is bad because other apps are better", strange. sure theres areas to improve but blender IS improving... Its true that other modeling apps have advantages over blender.

Although opinions and debate is healthy we narrowly avoid war here sometimes i think. It makes it worse that people come here from all different cultures and languages. It is too easy to react badly to another who did not intend it the way it was read.

It may be worth writing a post about... hmmm :) <ol> <li>1. People are very defensive whenever somebody vocals an unpopular opinion. It could be about the user interface or about another feature, but saying anything negative about Blender is 'not done'.</li> <li>2. At the same time, people who *do* criticize often forget that there are real people at the other side of the screen. If criticism is not constructive, if will often be interpreted as a personal attack, leading to a more emotional response. Before you know it, things get out of hand.</li> </ol> I think that these issues need to be resolved in order to make this community more mature. Any professional who is curious about Blender will surely be put off by the nature of some of the comments on this website. Have fun, Bart Oh, and @Toontje: this work wasn't posted because of it's artistic merit, but because it showed the process of modeling in a nice way. Of course, we would be SO happy if you submitted better samples but for some reason that hasn't happened yet ;-) I've noted two things here that are recurring in this community.

It is that it has to accommodate the users. When one user has a problem, you begin to find most users have a problem even if not directly related. : ) I would like to know why this post became all about defending Blender or slamming Valdius T...lets try to keep it professional…please...as a blender user I try to benefit from these posts and learn more through blender through other contributors. maybe I will be that contributor. I would only be so lucky to show someone something they did not know. It is not that it has to be mind blowing. It is that it has to accommodate the users.
