David, I have Real 3D 2.0 and think it is an awesome program, but it may not be the best choice for a user new to 3D work. Real 3D 'Classic' as the old version (1.4.2) is now called is a good choice and a lot cheaper than 2.0. I used it to do a lot of mechanical objects (jet engine components) and it works great for this (especially the Boolean operations). It can import clips from Pro Draw which is a good 2D structured drawing program. However, Imagine is the program of choice for most Amiga users and this is an excellent program. Others can tell you more about Imagine. You might have an easier time using a CAD program to draw the objects but you have to check what 3D object formats it can output to. Hope this helps some. John
