good for 3d is 3dstudio max or cinema 4d or stuff lkike that but good for flash is swift3d

[budwhite]

I have Swift 3D

but I can't export to the *.swf format :-(

[Gargoyle]

swift was made for doing so, i would suggest reading the manual. or asking someone also using it.

Hey
I used swift 3d for a 3d city thing!
Just use EPS files made in Flash!

Sorry about being so late on the reply but I was on holiday!

Anyhow...

Thanks for the complements Starhannes!

By the way that was just using imported EPS files in swift 3d.

To do this you:
make a birdseye view of a city (in flash or Ilustrator etc.) and save it as an EPS file

Then import it into Swift 3D and change the depth of the different bits.
( buildings with the largest depth and streets with the smallest)

Go here for a picture of what my EPS file looked like!:
