For anyone that might be interested in getting a free copy of truespace...Computer Arts Magazine has a full working version...not a demo...of truespace 3 se on their attached CD that comes with the magazine...bought it yesterday. It also comes with a special price to upgrade to the full version 4 of TS. Compared to Bryce the interface is lousy...but it adds to your arsenal of model making tools and it only will set you back about 8-13 bucks. Also, there is another program out there called Blender thats free...just type it in your search engine...this one is a bit trickier than anything I've ever used...but it's pretty amazing for freeware. If you have win98 and a Voodoo3 card watch out this thing is buggy about it...voodoo isn't very good about opengl...which is what blender runs on...I posted a tutorial for people trying to figure out this bug. Anyway; there are other tools out there to help enhance your 3d experience...but as far as interface goes I think Bryce has got them all beat...even Maya...
