Xara 3D can add 3D effects to type and solid vector graphics. But it is not a true 3D program. That said, there are some pretty incredible things that people have done with it.

Unlike most 3D programs, however, Xara 3D and the Extrude Tool in Xara Xtreme, are intuitive and pretty easy to learn. To answer your question, the Extrude Tool in Xtreme is similar to Xara 3D but a little more limited. But then Xtreme is a first rate drawing, illustration, and website creation application.

So, if you just want a simple 3D application, Xara 3D, but if you want all the bells and whistles, Xtreme 5 or Xtreme 5 Pro.
