Sounds like a good idea, but as am going to school right now.. they are paying
for the software anyway.  They just bought us Max (to be installed this week),
because that's what the "industry" uses.  I will think about Inspire 3D for
personal use though.

On the subject of plug-ins, there is a 3DS plugin to export to .rsd, does anyone
know if it will work on Max?

And one more question... anyone out there use Nichimen Nendo or N-World?  Those
are supposed to be kick-a** in low-poly and export to a load of gaming formats.
Nendo is only about 90 quid, not sure about N-world.

Latre all,
