[KLUG Members] 3d software

[Andrew Eidson]

Thanks I will take a look at those.. I think I still have the Maya 4 for
linux somewhere and I noticed the requirements for Maya 6 for Linux are
quite steep in the graphics card department.. so I may just stick with
blender since I want to be able to work on my a Windows and a Linux system
and just transport the data files between systems instead of having to
rebuild on 2 different systems.

Well, for the money, there's one solution on Linux, and that's Blender.
However, you might check out Wings 3D (http://www.wings3d.com/). If you
don't mind dropping about fifty bucks, AC3D is another option
(http://www.ac3d.org/). I've played around a little with all three, but
Blender seemed the most robust, to my mind.
