Well, do you want a nice reaction or the painfull truth?? I'll be
honest. I love (!!!!!!) MacroMedia! I think the world of Director and
FreeHand is much better than Illustrator IMHO. But....
Xres and Extreme3D suck!! Both could be found at coverCD's for free in
the past (older versions). I'm taking a look at my 4-year collection of
MacFormat CD's and see here...

CD MF53 August 1997..... Extreme 3D version 1.0 FOR FREE!!!
CD MF47 February 1997... xRes version 2.0 FOR FREE!!

Well... I must correct you that LightWave 5.6 works great on my
Powerbook 1400c (166) and my PPC8500av (120) can handle it too without
any problems. So you don't even need a G3. But I can recomend a large
screen for Lightwave. And again... It's realy a PC program so It's not
as easy as other 3D programs on Mac.
You could also think about Amapi. That is an odd program and I don't
like it. But it supposed to be cheap..
For Hash I can give you the mailadres of the SCEA-member that uses it.

Cheers,

DEnnis..
