Hi, I'm IceEmpress (don't give my name over the internet), and I'm just beginning to try out Blender (and I need help)

Why Blender?  Because it's free, and (for now at least) I mainly want something that will convert files to use in DAZ and something to paint textures and apply seamless textures to a model for use in DAZ, though the Cycles engine sounds nice and I plan to use it at some point.  I have only fooled around with the program on three different days now.  I'm beginning to get the hang of the interface a little bit.

As for the "foreign country", thing, well...  I felt the same way when I tried out DAZ (and *cough* Hexagon) last January, seeing as those are my first experiences with 3D programs.  I'm accustomed to DAZ, now (Hexagon is more complicated and buggy, and I haven't worked with it much)  I'm confident that I can get accustomed to Blender as well with enough usage.
