Sorry if I seem to repeat myself.

I consider, as well as because of its cost, that Rhino is a very "specialists" (complicated) app.

MoI seem the ideal Nerbs app for most.
I still think Hexagon outweighs most apps (including the big 3) for Poly modelling. (A shame that Eovia(France) did not have an extra 6 months with it--just a few little niggly bits that could be "easily" fixed?)

Value for money I doubt that many app combintions can match that MoI,Hexagon, Carrara for user interactivity/versatility/ friendliness--currently.

EXCEPT, I think 3D Coat (V3) is the coming big app where the triumverate would be MoI, 3D Coat, Carrara.

BUT, again, with the approaching (FREE) Blender2.5--will it be the middle of the year?---could the "Ideal" combination be MoI, 3D Coat, Blender2.5?
