Also, there's another free one called Blender. I've bought a 3rd party book (there are actually two books for Blender), but I haven't really tried it yet. I've used trueSpace, 3D Studio MAX, and Ray Dream Studio. I'm not the best modeler. Just learning how to do it, myself, and I haven't gotten past the simple models stage. I haven't figured out how to make clothes yet. That's my ultimate goal, though. Melanie
