Blender 2.49 or 2.65

[Hornetguy97]

I noticed a lot of tutorials are for 2.65. I recently go blender 2.49 and have no clue how to use it. Been watching tutorials but getting little from them. Are 2.49 and 2.65 the same? And is setting up ogre exporter that same as well. Really wanting to make my own custom tracks.

The base of them are similar, but that is about where the similarities stop. 2.65 is newer, and has many more features, one of the biggest is having to assign a texture for a model, instead of one being automatically generated in 2.49. If you are new to blender, I would personally start with 2.49.

I have a couple of ideas for tracks, we will see

I got 2.71 and it's lovely. .49 is genuinely awful compared to newer versions. The only reason to have .49 is for OGRE importers which may not even be a problem anymore
