You don't really need to buy the docs to get started. There are plenty of
tutorials on the web. If you still like it afterwards, buy the docs ;-) I
agree that the learning curve is very steep. I used Blender before (came
with better Linux distros as payware demo since 1999 or before). I am very
impressed by the speed even on substandard hardware and by the *size*.
This is a 3d animation studio with game scripting capability that weighs
in under 3Megs !!! Microsloth has a lot to learn about getting animations
right and code small (and fast!).
