Stand alone modeling tools like 3D coat, Silo, AC3D, Wings3D, Including
Starta CX don't have a simple feature that makes them totally useless.
If you do a sweep along a path or a revolve, they don't generate the
proper UV.
So you cannot animate and texture a conveyor belt, no sewer, no tubing,
no animated water fall, no donut, etc...
RS is the only software I know with Shade 5-9 that does that simple
thing correctly.
The shape provide the U and the path provide the V, easy. But most "Pro"
software fail at this point.
