actually Turbocad 7 is in 3d world this month (in England), early next year (US). But I'd have to put a vote in with Wings 3d..I've gotten a lot of good packages from 3d World, Computer Art, Digit mags..you can also get back issues..you get (albeit older) but full versions of several packages for around $13-15 or so..including the heavies like Maya and Lightwave (though a bit 'crippled')..start with the free stuff, and when you're up to it, go as far as you'd like.. and welcome to the wacky world of Poser..

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
