I seem to have found a great 3D program but might take
me some time to get used to it. I'll need a system upgrade and will need
to buy this program only when it reaches version 10 since now that version
10 will have skeletal movement seen in many famous 3D engines. The program
costs about 120 dollars US. And is a very powerful engine for the price.

I have started to look at POV LAB. And I find it looks
cool! So I will give it a try, also I am currently thinking of making a
adventure games using my 3D graphics skills!

History of Simply 3D: As far as I know about Simply 3d
it all started with a company called Virtual Software Inc. Now the reason
they were so great I think was mostly of such powerful tools that people
could easily use with an affordable price. Now people use more advance
pieces of software such as 3D Max Studio, Animation Master, and also the
famous MAYA used by movie industries today. Although it might sound all
peaches and cream. It is pretty expensive never the less. Virtual Software
Inc. used to offer very powerful tools at affordable price. As far as I
know the company has existed since around 1995. Tools for editing 3D has
evolved over the ages. But now Simply 3D has fell in the hands of MicroGrafx.
A company that in my views doesn't look too interested in the legendary
program of Simply 3D. I say legend since it was a great software in the
past but then it has been lacked I say. Simply 3D should of evolved and
broke new grounds in the way graphics are done day. It should of gone professional
and evolved from there as Virtual Reality 2.0 should have as well. Alas,
Simply 3D remains a mystery to me. Of why this great company, simply just
lacked the ability to evolve. Who knows how graphics will evolve and lead
us too. Hopefully some day we will see powerful engines at affordable and
reasonable prices. As the software company from California once standed.
Today, I own the Virtual Software Inc. Showcase CD, the
original Simply 3D Pack from Virtual Software Inc. and also my current
tool in graphics, Simply 3D Version 2.0. Version 3.0 is available and out
there but I was disgusted by the lack of things they have put in edition
to Version 2.0 It should of been much better and much more powerful with
a completely new and different interface. People that steps up a version
should at least make it look like a version upgrade and not a sub version
upgrade. You've got work to do MicroGrafx.
