Dwayne –
Thanks for that information – very much appreciated. As I mentioned to Omar, I think for now I’ll get myself accustomed with using just Blender and learn what it can do in respect to painting and texturing.
I still have some old 3D modeling books from years ago. Whenever I start to think – oh I need more add-ons and such – I look back at the images that were created then and think to myself: they did that with what we consider today as primitive software.
That gets me inspired to work harder and experiment more with the tools Blender offers. However I’m not one to pass up a bargain so I still take advantage of the Blender Market sales and pick-up an add-on here and there even if I don’t use them right away.
