If you have $25 or so, Mikeshape 3D is the best work horse solution. There are a number of good 3D tools that are also free. Just seach this forum and the 3D forum and you should find plenty of examples.

Hi Darth Vader,
Here's some solutions.

A: Geoscape is pretty good, but I found MagicWorld to have a lot more features. Check it out at http://www.all-seeing-i.co.uk it's also free.

B:I agree with Zircher, Milkshape is an overall easier to use and more powerful modeller for cheap.

C:If you want to make your own MIDI music, Finale has a $20 little program that does MIDIs with the same basic functionality as their big piece of software, just not as many features. Go to http://www.finalemusic.com

MagicWorld wasn't originally written to support DBpro, but it still works pretty good, you'll just have to tweak some things to make it work correctly.
If you've got photoshop I wouldn't bother with any other 2d editors, because I know Paint Shop Pro has a feature where you can look at the picture with copies of it on each side so you can see what it will look like on an object, so Photoshop is bound to have what Paint Shop has plus more.

DBPro does have a bunch of models built in, but they may not be what you're looking for. If they are, then no money outta your pocket, but if they aren't then you might want to look into one of the DarkMatters.
