He's sculpting.
I tried sculpting in Wings 3d once.
It was okay.
BTW, I have a problem with blender 2.56a beta.
It starts up with "error initializing quicktime" in the console.
And then the program still works, but the windows are only visible when your mouse is on top of them.
Which is preventing me from finishing that shell of the M202 Flash/Grim Reaper.
