Right here''s my situation - I''m using Milkshape3D for my 3D models, exporting to .x format, but the trial period is up in a few days time and I am running out of time to get these models for my game done (I am up until 3am most nights so you can appreciate how much time I have left!). Now, is there a trial version of another 3D art package that exports to .x format that anybody can recommend? Or can someone lend me their registration key so I can continue and register later?

well snail mail is being slowed up, international especially right now, so I wondered if anybody knows of a trial version of another piece of software (I hear milkshape isn''t the best, so I''m better off buying one like 3D Max) that I can get to grips with QUICKLY.

I could set my BIOS clock back I know but I think that might bugger up my system.

This is ridiculous. Comparing 3DS Max with Milkshape 3D. A 3000$ (or more) package compared to a 20$ package. Geez.

Don''t tell us that you don''t have the money for milkshape. It''s 20$ and your key can be requested on the net via a registration form. It takes less than 24 hours.

Why not use gmax from the makers of 3DS Max? It''s totally free

Sure, you can''t save to .x or some other useful file format, but I''m sure someone can write a .gmax->.x utility.

Until then...?

Look for 3D Canvas. It''s pretty full featured even in the free download version, and it has no time restrictions. The incentive to purchase is all the extra tools and features.

What, you want a link? Well, that''s what search engines are for!
