I know this should probably be in the Flash section, but this program is also 3D. As much 3D as Maya and Max. It creates 3D objects for Flash. It's called Swif.t3D v2.0. It can use Illustrator files and .3ds file. And it has all sorts of ways to export. Now I'm not talking like Vecta3D. This program is flat out cool. All the 3D you need, it has a lathe editor and an extrusion editor for making your own custom 3D shapes, and it has plenty of primitives. When I get my site up and running, be sure to watch out for my 3D Flash content. I'll post a download for the full version of Swif.t3D v2.0 if you guys want when my site is up.            

All I have to do is get my account actually working fully, and you'll be able to see how powerful this tool is. You'll be moved. And not into just making 3D for Flash, but 3D interfaces, backgrounds and the whole bunch. Trust me, it is a great program. If you want to see what it can do, go to http://swift3d.com.  This is their program's website, it isn't the best that can be done, but with some good brackground music, 3D objects, interaction. It'll make it all blend in perfectly. Plus, Flash needs something new..

hey tnx iNouko, swift3D is great
i made it with 3dmax and was searching for a plugin that could make swf files as well as outlining
(instead of using that lame renderable lining thingy)
