as i know(from tp's readme), strpix doesn't support the dxf exported by 3ds max.

lightwave 3D can make customised objects too. dunno others but it however exports all faces into triangles... which are harder to texture.

Can we just use any 3d animation product to make object as long that the package export to dxf? There are many free 3d animation package on the web.
Anim8or http://www.anim8or.com/main/index.html
Softcad .3d lite version (free) http://www.softcad.com/
Truespace 1.0 http://www.pcplus.co.uk/article.asp?id=8556
Amapi 4.15 (free)
Amorphium 1.0 (free)

none of those support the kind of 3d file you need

these are not usable either:

minosCAD
Intellicad
freeCAD
turboCAD
justCAD
winplaceCAD
SoftCAD


i tried all them before using rhino

i say if your a starter at making levels, stick to making good traps, lighting for your levels first, then worry about this stuff
