I am in no way a 3D modeller, but I downloaded that demo of Rhino3D and find incredibly simple to use, and I also have the eval verison of AC3D, however with Christmas around the corner I don't have the $40.00 to register it and I deperately what to start building/modifying planes models/lods.

Is there a LOD plugin for AC3D? If so, where is it? Once I register AC3D, I will use that program.

Until then, I will stick with Rhino3D BUT,...
I need to know if there are any converters that you guys know of so I can edit the LODS/Models in Rhino3D????
FYI, these are the formats Rhino supports:

IGES
AutoCAD DWG
AutoCAD DXF
Wavefront OBJ (Export Only)
3D Studio
3DS Max (Export Only)
Lightwave LWO
Raw Triangle
POV Ray (Export Only)
UDO
STL
VRML
Adobe Illustrator
Windows Metafiles
Renderman RIB
AG
DXF for Moldex
PostScript
DirectX
TIFF

Now I have the FSD2DXF converter,
and the FSD2LOD converter along with the others.
And it will export as .obj files so that would be great, but I need to find a converter to get the files into a format that I can Import.

OPS imports .obj files but I never see any in a .sm file of anything.

Like I said, this will become much easier once I can Register AC3D, but right now taht isn't an option.

Any ideas, suggestions???
