Hey there mirek,

interesting point you've made there. My opinion on the matter is that while we're learning to model we start with what we know. If you put a box of Lego bricks in front of a male child chances are that he will first of all build a gun, robot or spaceship, now if you think that most users on this forum are male and imagine Maya as a big box of Lego bricks.......

Also there is software out there, (Vue, Bryce etc.) that is designed specifically for building scenes.

You said that you couldn't model you're way out of a wet paper bag, having seen (on Jays thread) what you are capable of with graphite I'd be really interested to see some of your 3d work, I bet it's no where near as bad as you think. I've learnt pretty much everything I know about 3d from this site, people are always willing to assist your progress in any way they can. Go on jump in!!

Take it easy,

Mat.
