I picture the entire house being built to her specifications, most furniture and appliances would also be smaller... except for the home theater. That's one thing where she goes with the biggest possible. Zapan – I’d say she’s a mixture of both.

As far as I'm aware. there's no easy way to enter measurements like 5/8 or 7/16 of an inch... True Maya can be set to use inches, but it still uses clean fractions.

I can't wait to see more of Daisy's house. Is she the type of small person to adapt her furnitures to her size, or does she comes out of it by using gadgets and steps ?

After mucking around for hours with paint effects I simple modelled it and, similar to you, used maya fur for the leaves. Paint effects didn't have enough control and after modelling a few base branches it took the same, if not less, time to cobble the structure together. One note: the branches are pointing in the wrong direction. They should be pointing upwards. Looking good – I too have struggled with creating a Christmas tree.

I didn't check the comment window, though... And I'm not sure why the “” symbol appears everywhere. A bug transferring everything to the new database, perhaps? About the images... they may have been deleted. I routinely go through and delete old images, to free up space. If you'd like, I can try to put together a quick tutorial.

One of my biggest complaints that I still don't think Autodesk has done anything about, are the 'legacy' features. Often these are old, redundant features that they have all but replaced with new, more efficient versions, and yet they refuse to get rid of the old ones, just in case someone actually needs them. In fact, so far I think Blender is the only program where the developers will actively trim features that they know no one uses anymore... Absolutely.

I use Max at work and while some things are insanely quick (modelling buildings and other hard surfaces for example) I get very frustrated at what is, from a born and bred Maya user's perspective, a bizarre and roundabout workflow. That coupled with sluggish feedback when the poly count gets too high (like 3000) I long for the bare-bones feel of Maya. Biped may be good, but I like being able to put the functionality i need into my rig when I need it. You said it buddy – i miss the transparency of Maya on a daily basis.
