Hi
From a non professional point of view I feel moved to say that it is almost effortless, and great fun, to make something in Moi, paint it in 3D coat and render it in SimLab. Exactly how long this all takes obviously depends on how complex the model is but it takes a fraction of the time that would be possible with any other combination of software. With free versoins of each someone could learn 3d asset making in a week for free. Someon should do a tutorial on youtube.
