3d programs to use with flash mx

I want to start working with 3d in my flash movies, should I use swift 3d or a 3d based program like 3d studio max? Thanks in advance.

I have used swift 3d for building some great 3d flash animations. The only problem is the size of these animations, when exported to flash, are big, cos your not tweaning. But still, swift is a good tool to have :).

there was a thread about this not too long ago in Drawing and Design I thing. I’ll try and find it.

edit: ok, so its not as helpful as I thought it would be, but there might be some ok info here
