Question about 3D modeling programs

[Stumpy_Joe]

Hey everyone, new to the site as a member. Hopefully me posting here gets a decent respone time. I was wondering if anyone was familar with the 3D rendering/modeling program called Rhinocerous? And if so, can you model in that and then move the model to another program for conversion/animation?

Any help and input is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Rhino ?

are you referring to the 3d modeler, Rhino 3d?

If you are then I have bad news because it is a NURBS only 3d modeler and can only do animation with 3rd party addons. and to make matters worse there are no import/export scripts for .mdl/.mdx that i know of

Might I suggest something along the lines of GMAX or 3DSMAX 4/5. both programs are well supported by the modding community and it isint hard to find import/export scrips and tutorials for the program.

You can also go for Milkshape which quite a lot of the modelers here also use... some together with 3D studio.

Milkshape also have a well working exporter.
