Anyone know of a good 3D program for flash? I want to create some buildings for my new flash and give them a real dynamic perspective. Anyone know of anything good and relatively easy to use?

From what I understand all 3d programs (Maya, 3DSMax, Blender, etc) have a vector render plugin. I know for a fact that Maya 2011 includes a Vector Renderer. Getting it to look good? Well... I don't have a clue about that.

Yepp this is correct, I have used the vector render for 3D objects in Flash. Basicly I just rendered as .png (since it has an alpha channel) and imported the image sequence in flash and traced bitmap and it wa slike a normal animation in flash. There might be someway to automize the workflow tought, never looked into it. Also if you want some nice looking object you can render the object normaly with an alpha channel, it all depends on what look your going for.

Hmm thing I might have got it wrong cuz if you wanna get vector object out of maya directly without having to trace bit map I have no idea how you're supposed to go on about it..

Well I'm not looking for anything extravagant. I just want something where I can make a building, and then change the angle. Thanks for the tips though guys.
