http://www.ualberta.ca/~cwant/blender/stl.py is a plugin to export STL from blender, which is a great environment for modeling 3d, once you get over the learning curve. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro is a good wikibook tutorial, that happens to cover modeling in the first hundred pages or so of the beginner volume. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
