Vecta3D Plugin does not do shading... I had heard that the standalone did

but I guess not...

Additionally ,

is it possible to add a texture to Vecta3d files?  it appears as if you can

only apply solid colors to the whole model, or an ungrouped sub-object ..

i'm still having to export my models w/ textures from 3ds as bitmap and

clean it up in Flash.. LAME..  At this point it is my opinion that Vecta3d

is a complete waste of money...  is the 3ds Vecta plug-in more powerful than

standalone, or just more pricey b/c of it's association with 3ds??


Thanks
