For anyone interested in going into the field of 3D modeling, let me just say you should STAY THE MOTHERFUCK AWAY FROM THE PROGRAM FORM Z. This is one of the buggiest, most infuriating pieces of software I've ever run across, rivaled only by the awesomely unuser-friendly Adobe Illustrator. The program, without warning or reason, will not display a certain object in one render mode, but the object will magically be there in other modes, or even better, as was the case last night, it will wait until you choose File-->Save to instantly shut down and tell you it "unexpectedly quit".
At first I was incredulous but soldiered on and restraced my steps up the to point where I went to save previously. I chose the save option again, which, as they tell you is what you should do if you don't want to look like a retarded foreign cousin and lose everything you just worked so hard on. So, following good judgment and logic, I chose to save my project again and was immediately met with "This program hates you and its only purpose is to cause your eventual aneurism after you eat through your own wrists out of frustration. The machines will rise and this is the just beginning, you fool. Go ahead, try and save again. I dare you. Hahaha, impudent bloodsack." Then, the screen turned a dark, pulsating crimson and I felt my brain melting before its evil glow. The last thing I remember is watching the floor split violently down the middle, revealing an endless chasm of a glowing, maggot-white light and hearing Tipper Gore's maniacal laughter echoing up from her throne in Hell.
Form Z is pure, refined evil, as capriciously two-faced and blackhearted as my ex. For the sake of your sanity, treat this program (and my ex, those unfortunate enough to run into her) like the plague and avoid at all costs.
Here's an approximation of what I looked like after the second time I was denied the ability to save my work:

Hehe, thanks. Teen-angst may be one of the greatest sources of unintentional comedy ever created.

Well expressed rage gets you a +2. You should have an alter called "THE ANTI-ANGST" and post all your rage posts under that name. YOu would be doing your part to purge all the kids on uber of their meaningless complain-rage posts.

By they way, that pic is from the Strapping Young Lad website and I make no claim of ownership. The pic was designed by Geoff who runs the SYL site. SYL kicks ass and you should buy their albums.
