What a nice idea to collect this urls! But anything for my Mac (not this discussion again)?? Especially some years ago i tested a little shareware program which was able to let you paint fractals in 3D space (voxels). I think that would be perfect to produce foam etc. BUT I FORGOT THE NAME - AND DELETED IT. Anybody any idea??? :-)) Walther

Walther, maybe you could have a look at this address and find out what is good for MAC users (there are some links). Also do not hesitate to go to google.com and write "fractals+3d+voxels" in the search field. I think you know better then we what MAC users needs and really can use. Would nbe nice if you find some MAC addresses. Thanks:-)Attached Link: http://www.wings3d.com

3D Canvas v 4.23 is a real-time 3D modeling and animation tool that incorporates an intuitive drag-and-drop approach to 3D modeling. It can imports many popular 3D file formats can be incorporated in your scenes. http://www.amabilis.com/ or http://www.webattack.com/Freeware/gmm/fw3d.shtml AccuTrans 3D V.2.8.4 provides accurate translation of 3D geometry between the file formats used by many popular modeling programs. Very, very powerful and very good! I use this program for most conversions. Free to use but if you want it to convert your textures as well it will cost you $20 American. http://www.micromouse.ca/

World Machine is a freeware terrain heightfield generator for Win98 or later. It uses an 'object-based' approach so that changes can easily be made anywhere in the pipeline. Steve S.still haven't found my little Mac program i am looking for. But tomight i had some ideas which maybe could be interesting. Computer Arts (british magazine) from time to time offers on the added CD full products. On CD of issue 67 it was Poser 3 On CD of issue 58 Amapi 4.15 On CD of issue 63 EyeCandy 3.1 So this are not the newest versions of the packages, but they are free. AND THEY ARE THERE FOR BOTH WORLDS - PC AND MAC! And i think you can order old issues from the magazine, so there is a chance to get these. www.computerarts.co.uk :-)) Walther

Ahh, i forgot something. For all who can handle Cinema 4D files (by the way, importing Cinema files is something for the wishlist), here a collection of nice materials. Not all of them are working (some are using very specific Cinema features), but there are some really nice things there. http://www.maxon.net/deepshade/shader/shadr_inx.html Walther

Just in case you need a bit more control with your lego meshes don't forget this program to. It's slightly, like way more powerful than the program above but you still need the program above to convert the dat files to obj. Don't make your meshes too big or you'll have problems importing them into Vue or any other program for that matter. Best export it in groups with a master file for all the groups. That way if the big mesh is too big to import you can import the smaller groups and put it back togeather again In Vue. I mean big meshes. 1500 parts, maybe break it up to 200 parts where it will be easy to put back togeather again. I've managed to import 1500 piece meshes all at once but it took a long time and a few times it never imported. But it did import eventually.Attached Link: http://a-i-studio.com/snowflake/
