Blender3D 2.46 release secheduled for May 17 or 18
Blender3D is an awesome, insanely powerful, and completely free 3D design tool. I've been playing with it for about two years now, and while it took me a while to get used to the interface, I'm getting very comfortable in it. I've already posted blog entries about designing cabinets and a walking hectopus, but I haven't yet shared some of my grander creations, such as the bridge of a steampunk blimpship (lotsa brass, mahogany, and red upholstery).
Anyway, according to the Peach weblog, May 17 or 18 is the date of the release of Blender 2.46.
