I downloaded Blender but there was no link for python. Am I on the right

Blender doesn't require Python, but if you have Python, you can
write plug-ins for Blender. Get "The Blender Book"; otherwise
you'll never figure Blender out.

I'm thinking about not upgrading "Strata 3D" because it still doesn't
export textures with obj files and it just created an undo of more than
one action, believe it or not... Am I expectiong too much of a $400+
program, to export textures with obj files? Does Blender do this? I see
the BBook on Amazon for $30. That's probably my best bet, no?

Blender has considerable power, but ease of use is a problem. The
hotkey listing in the manual is 29 pages.

Is the manual you refer to the group project on blender.org or the $ manual
like the one on Ebay?
