[Bf-funboard] Blender in the workplace

The direction of my comments may not have been clear enough in my first
e-mail. I was referring to Blender's polygon editing toolset and how it does
not compare to other available packages; applications like Silo and open
source Wings 3D.

Simply, Blender *can* create the same assets that most other packages can,
but with it's limited toolset there is little competition.
