Better quality from Doga

"It just seems there are too many prebuilt complex objects to add and not enough basic primitives or ways to reshape an existing object beyond stretching and squashing it."

If you've used the previous Version, DOGA started out more like a lego set than a modeling program.

Guess that explains it... wonder what accounts for its popularity for creating SE4 shipsets then?

It's a lot easier to use than most other 3D programs because it's more of connect-the-blocks rather than creating complex objects on your own. I personally don't like it all that much because I find it limiting and the renders are kind of distorted, but you can do some interesting work with it.

For me DOGA L3 good because very low cost and is butt simple to use. I get raging headaches trying to use things like Moray/Povray...

The program is limited, but never the less a lot of fun to use.

If you want to spend the time to learn it, I guess you could do some really detailed sets. There are a lot of excellent ship sets out that were created with this program, but I agree with Kwok, I'd rather learn Povray/Moray.

Its popularty in my case is price and ease of use. as kwok put it, my Tessellates are "connect the blocks" which for my vision is just right.
