Jammer, Thanks for the comments on Mole. :) Currently working a version for Silverlight 2.

Ahhh, great. I've not had the time (nor real-world reason) to look into Silverlight too deeply as yet. Sounds like it could be some form of web developers nirvana in a year or so when its a little more extablished. Still you have to hand it to MS for getting the deal to stream the Olympics in Silverlight format. That should go a LONG way to securing its spreading use. I've also just been given Zam3D to work with and that is really going to help lever the online 3D stuff away from being exclusively a Flash thing. Really great app. Best,

Zam3D is awesome! No 3D support in Silverlight yet. The SL apps they demonstrated at MIX were fantastic. Super nice stuff. Even AOL ported their client to SL 2.

Indeed ... What i've seen of Zam3D is great. I also use Blender and Cinema4D, C4D is simply stunning and I find myself creating most object in that app and porting them as .obj. Zam3D is just so damn fast to make things, the Laythe feature is truly inspiring to use and the catelog of materials and animations (and the ability to save your own) is really great. Still its an arse since I have only started with WPF 1 month ago and I have to have a complete app interface to demo to the BOD on the 18th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No time for working out the idiosyncracies of WPF 3D in this schedule!!!

That's interesting. I do most of my work in Cinema4D - it's workflow is simply the easiest to work with. I've not tried Zam3D - why do you think it's that good?

Mainly because its just a really straight forward app. You could never do what C4D does in it and I think for that it makes it a nice quick 3D app. Plus when your targeting WPF the fact that it then outputs EVERYTHING to XAML is just great. All the animations etc are all in storyboards ... Add to that the opportunity of just taking that XAML file and opening it in your browser to quickly 'check out' before going anywhere near your WPF app, Expression Designer or Blend and your onto a winner in my book. Its just so easy!

OK - I'm downloading a demo of Swift3D (there's no Zam3D demo - but they say they work in the same way). I may just purchase a copy if it's any good.

A lot of the Flash 3D stuff you see on the web is done using Swift3D or its plugin into other 3D apps. Well worth checking out ... and for £120 its a bargain imo ... Have a look at this ... its done using the Swift3D plugin ... http://www.tokyoplastic.com/[^] Click the top "enter tokyoplastic" link ... incredible!

How are you getting on with Swift3D Pete?

Well - I've downloaded and installed it, but that's as far as it goes. I'll hopefully get some time to look at it by the end of this week.
