what do you guys think of swft 3d.
and no i am not talking about SWISH or dont say MAYA.
swift is a great simple way to start into 3D its simple and fun definitely a great start :thumb:
Datapimp is a Maya boy. :thumb:
this has nothing to do with maya
LOL, he only said that because you said not to, it was a joke (i believe…) 
Swish is cool, but it doesn’t have all of the intense features of the mainstream 3d apps.
I’d recommend maya.
If you are just learning, however, SWISH is a good place to start.
GOD I SAID SWFT NOT SWISH
rotflmfao!!! 
(-: hahaha
this is so f***ing hilarious!! hahahahahha lol
:P:P:P(-:
This is a good place to start.
Swift3d is a great tool, get things 3d from vector programs. Great tool to get vector Logos into 3d and pretty simple to get working. New features in V3 allow for bitmap textures and also allows raster rendering so you can achieve some great results in Swiftv3 if you use it right. Animation is fun and you can do some great stuff with animating the Extrusion / lathe tools to create changing shapes in 3d (what you call morphing).
Great features for importing into flash (export to swf, layersmart features)
All in all a nice cheap app to get your simple 3d into flash and your design work.
swish bites the monkeys balls swift 3d v3 is the best but i must say i cant comment on the maya thing i aint used it.
Swish? I don’t like it, you can pretty much script everything, it’s more practical. And sorry, I’ve never tried Maya :-\
I like swift, easy to pick up and small file sizes
Swift is more n00b/easy to use.
The diffrence between Maya and Swift is like the diffrence bewteen Photoshop and Fireworks, Photoshop is more powerful at the end of the day by far, but Fireworks works well for vector.

except both photoshop and fireworks are actually almost equal in power.
Maya and Swift aren’t. Maya is what they use for movies and stuff - and now 5 has Swift’s vector renderer.
If you just want to learn 3d, I recommend you download Maya 5 PLE @ www.aliaswavefront.com
can i download demo version of swift 3d 2 or 3, site does’nt allow any downloads 
i want to try it before buying, i have seen what it can do, but dont know if i can do it or not, gota try a demo version, link anyone?
For hacking reasons, Electric Rain has decided not to offer demos any longer They’re probably right though :-\
yeah the earlier demos of swift were hacked to buggery so you could d/l the demo and crack it to have the full version which a lot of people did so as far as I know they were removed
What is Swish, Swift, Maya and Electric Rain?
Are these related to Flash?
electric rain are the creators of swift 3d which is a 3d rendering program that specialises in generateing Flash compatible animations (i.e. 3d vector ainimations). Maya is a professional level 3d rendering program (which can now also render to vector right?) and swish is a flash text animation program I think
