also, swift 3d is a modeller - it may have some interesting export settings but unless it uses a 3d engine in flash (i believe jason said that it exports to papervision), you get no interactivity for your money a On 17 August 2010 10:10, Allandt Bik-Elliott (thereceptacle.co.uk)

I don't know the costs involved in using Unity, but since their is a cost there will be continued development - though the price may rise (too high?) with success. i think they use a freemium model - free for web deployment but ever increasing costs for extra functionality / deployment

Swift3D can export to Papervision3D Version 2, giving you the DAE file, images and a sample control script in AS3. You can access and control any name part of the model using AS3 and do what you want with it. Swift3D is simple to use and cheap. It may be all you need, since your needs are

Swapping out the textures on a 3D model will be easy. As for the sleeve length and such, easiest thing would probably be to swap out the .DAE model for a different one. You could also edit the vertices (at least I know you can in Papervision3D), but that would be a pain to figure out which ones,

Oh, I also meant to mention, a third option is to actually export the 3D model as a pure Actionscript display object class. That's right. To do this, you use the free opensource modeling tool Blender. You would create or import your model into that, and there is an easy to install Python plug
