You have no experience in this field and I think you should shut up.

Actually, I tried to model using Sketchup, but there is no dts exporter and other crap you need, so you should use another modeling program, AlphaicX.

It's possible to export through many conversions.

All those damn plug-ins dont work.

If there is a Windows-Only converter, I will ask somebody to export it.

Blender. Much more worth it in the end. Do not complain it is "hard" because it isn't.

Since your models are fairly epic, I shall trust you on this one.
Also don't you have a Blender Modeling class or something?

Google Sketchup is a pretty good modeling program, and there is a pretty easy way to import files from it into Blender.

Which I have done.
It's not worth it.
At all.

I used sketch up to model this.
*Abusing thread to show off model

(I just brought it to blender for rendering.)

It's completely possible to harness the extreme power of Sketchup.
It's a bit different from the other modeling programs.

But, its quite good.

1 Conversion to 3ds for me.
I purchased the full version.

Off-topic: Isn't 3ds max like $300?
On-topic: I think I might use blender to export sketchup files. I do believe Sketchup is easier to use (seriously Heed if you are new to modeling I think blender is a tad tough).

THen explain how the BL tank was made. That was sketchup. I know a free way to convert to DTS format.
