Hi

[mike4]

I am new to talk graphics and I thought I might introduce myself first I am Mike and I just recently stumbled upton talk graphics as I am slowly getting into 3d modeling. I previously and still currently do create websites for different companies and I also have my own blog which I am constantly trying to improve!

In my free time I love to play squash and tennis. Anyone else here who likes squash or tennis?

Anyways, nice to be a part of this community!

Thanks, gwpriester!

Not yet but I am thinking about using the xara 3d Maker 7. I read that it is really easy to use, even if you have not had a lot of experience with tools like this.

There is a forum for Xara 3D Maker https://www.talkgraphics.com/forumdi...-Xara-3D-Maker Not a whole lot of activity but lots of previous posts and if you post a question usually someone will have the answer.

Welcome Mike,

I am slowly getting into 3d modeling

Xara 3d Maker 7 is not a 3D modeling program. It is excellent for what it is but please don't think you can produce 3D models using it. It can create 3D 'like' avi's, swf's and gif's but nothing you can import into a true 3D application.

Thanks for the information egg bramhill. What kind of software would you recommend instead?

Hi Mike, something like Blender or Sketch-up. LINK
