Dave,
Where can we find "Milkshape"??? Sounds great.
Nendo ($99 - http://www.nichimen.com/) is another slick modeling
program. Nendo is very easy to use. Nendo has had some nice writeups
and initially we were planning to seriously use it, but we've found it
unstable and have encountered a lot of import/export compatibility
problems.
