I purchased swift 3d which is nothing like 3ds. and wonder if anybody have anyother recommendations for possibly anothe program or recom. on learnign swift 3d and please dont say practice (da).

Cinema4d has an excellent export plugin (which comes with the core application) for exporting stills and animation as vector images (rather than bitmap) in the .swf format.


I used it to create the map animation in this (don't laugh... it is my first go at using flash and I reckon I didn't do half bad)
