Now before I get going there's a new version that just popped up on there which is a large 64bit 600 MB thing in alpha state about a month ago... I have downloaded it but don't open my one-only windows 10 machine much... An associate did & I asked what was taking up all the space, he said there's like 300 MB of python... Well, that's alot of python...
Also all the images have been changed on the site to reflect the new alpha...
I am not referencing this new version at all, I am referencing the 2012 version which is a nice-tight 20.6 MB install instead works well on XP...

This is a 'Full 3D Package' which has modeling, materials, textures, animation, UV mapping, 3D painting, decent internal render engine plus connectors for external render engines... This is a one-man show here & the guy must be a genius with everything that is in it... The most unusual feature is that Albatross3D has the dark tree engine embedded within it so one can open & texture with dark trees... He would've had to code this all up himself... Not only that but you can also 3D paint dark trees onto models so thusly painting the dark tree PROCEDURAL onto a texture in the 3D viewport interactive like...
These two images show such yea it's not art but I'm just doing an example here-
Not only that but it has it's OWN nodal texture editor as well-
Also has sculpting with or without symmetry... The render engine has potential have not ramped it up yet... You can go alot higher polys than in Wings3D for a sculpt-
Beautiful sculpt I made there....
There's a few issues going on the biggest is when you get say a materials dialog going but there's no way to accept & proceed this usually happens when the BOTTOM of the window has to be coaxed up you think moving the whole window up would do it but you have to do that plus then grab the bottom of the window & move it 'UP' then magically the buttons appear...
This is more of an issue on small screens & since I have utilities like ALT+Drag & Feel The Wheel on small screens especially there's no issue...
BUTT!... If one struggles with this one could easily say 'Piss On It!!' when the fix is rather simple...
Here's a beginner modeling GIF I made I'm sure as hell it won't show up on here so you will have to R-Click on the 'X' then copy-open in a new tab... It's very stripped down but If I put every step in it would be 3 times as big-
OK the forum 'takes ownership' of the GIF so that won't work try this-
