Due to poor eyesight I find that some 3d programs are no good for me. I have to use larger font and the magnifier in order to use a computer. Among the ones I have problems with are Softimage, which is cluttered with menus and sub menus. 3ds max is also difficult. Fortunatly there are several programs I have no problem with,these incude Milkshape, silo, and Truespace.Cinema 4d is also not too bad in this respect.Hope this info will be usefull to someone.

It might help you to invest in a much larger monitor - preferbly a widescreen one, just a thought... it makes everything bigger anyway.

Gord, if you're using the Windows magnifier, I'd suggest trying one of the freeware one out there, instead - they're much better to use. I use 'Dragnifier' which gives you a systray icon you just click on when you want to use the magnifying glass. It's pretty handy - I don't have poor eyesight, though; just a poor monitor. :)

Thanks. I will check out Dragnifier. I am using a 19 inch monitor from Samsung. Very good.
