Yes deffinatly get Dark Basic Pro. For a 3d Modeler program I hear Milkshape is easy and cheap ($35) But I don't know for sure. 3dws Is a GREAT tool But be wary if you have vista cuase there are some bugs with it although not very many. ALso if you want a SUPER EASY!!!! yet more expensive program AC3D is awesome! Anyways good luck! and I hope I was able to help!

Wow, Is Mapscap an exact clone of 3dws? It looks identical!
