DOGA is free to use, but many of us have paid the $40.00 us to registar it.

DOGA is a great 3d tool, better than most in its price range, and is being used in games and believe it or not, tv in Japan.

But Fyron is correct the polygons are exceptionaly high for use with real time rending games like SF and SE V.

Beautiful work! I think the transports would be better as warships, though...

I Use Anim8or www.anim8or.com It's free, and I have succeded in making a few models that worked in Starfury. Although the models need to be converted from .obj or .3ds to .x in some 'other' program. I think I used conv3ds.exe the file converter that comes with the DirectX SDK.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents.

Cheers!

I'll push Blender as always. I found it very powerful - plugins, scripting, ability to use external renderer, subsurfacing, boolean operations, some NURBS capabilities, a lot of tutorials and creative community. And native export to .X (in 2.36 at least). And free.
The only problem is interface. It's not a newbie friendly. But people who got accustomed with it told it's very comfortable to use.
