Well, lots of things take time, especially when you are just implementing them. I assume, and this will be the golden test, if I am good enough at it, it will NOT take longer to do it with the program, than by hand.
I spent a fair amount of time trying to come up to speed in Blender last night. That will be a huge curve, and I have yet to decide whether there will be any ROI on that.
It’s a journey, right? Not a destination. :)
