Wings 3D - Free CAD/Animation program that converts to 3ds

[ChrisCook]

Hey all you animation freaks heres another program to put under your belt. This is Wings 3D, it allows you manipulate Geometric shapes in Free hand. The program has its limits it can only manipulate geo shapes and there is no library of FIRST items like wheels and gears (like AutoCAD), But the program is only 3 mb and can print out files to *.3ds format. Our team has found it really great becasue now we don't have to 'N' copies of autoCAD, as well as 3ds so our team can now freely experiment with ideas in the real-time enviorment. Plus Now our animation team can send some of the Brut labor to other people and get a basic render down and then send it to the 3ds guys to touch it up. If you want to see what it can do, I'll try and post a picture soon.
