Hi,
    Yes, some six months after the launch of Net Yaroze in Japan, they
had
achieved sufficient sales to buy copies of Lightwave for distribution to
all their Members, ploughing money back into the program.

     We're in discussions with a number of vendors, but its a little
early for
us to do this at this stage.  Stay tuned.

	If you're really stuck for 3D models, one strategy would be to search
the
Web for DXF collections.   

	FYI we're also working on tools to aid the generation of models here at
SCEE.
