No pretty pictures or videos today. I've been trying to learn Blender, and not doing so well. I can create objects and move them around, but I've yet to get UV mapping working, and I can't export meshes (Only really tried to export to MD2, and that failed because there's no UVs).

Blender seems way over-complicated to me, and the online documentation is absolutely rubbish. There's loads of tutorials on Google, but they're all for older versions of Blender. So I keep getting stuff like "Now press the U key to enter the UV editor", and the U key is actually "Undo" in the latest version, so I need to hunt down the UV editor, then find it pretty difficult to use...

Can anyone recommend a simpler 3D model editor? I don't need animation, video editing, sound editing, or any of the other bizzare stuff Blender supports. I just want to be able to create simple meshes (It took me 2 hours to create a house [Well, a cube with a pyramid on top of it], and then I found I'd done it wrong and it had all gone crazy), and paint UVs on it.

Cow_In_The_Well started making some 3D modelling software; Mango, but I gather he gave up with it. I'm sort of half considering writing my own software, but I know I'll just end up giving up after a week or so. Still, that is beginning to look like a reasonable solution; for the features that I need, I don't think it'll be that hard. Still, it would be a massive wheel reinvention...
