Hello all. I was hoping to get a few questions answered before I decide whether or not to purchase AC3D.

Here's my current situation: I'm working on a project by myself. I'd like to be able to create some basic art (3d models/textures) with which to fill my game. The quality of art I'd like to be able to produce is what you would call "programmers art" (so nothing fancy). I've been using Wings 3d for a bit, and have enjoyed the ease of use it offers. But now, I'm looking for something with a bit more power/features that won't break my 100$ budget and won't sacrifice to much ease of use (thus the reason I don't use blender, it isn't easy to use and I don't have time to learn it). I've tried out AC3D's demo, and it certainly has more features than Wings 3d. It was a bit harder for me to work with it, although this is probably due to I'm not used to the interface. Anyways, I would appreciate anyone's opinions on whether or not AC3D would be a worth while buy in the case of someone like myself. And my second question, how long is AC3D's learning curve?

Thanks
