Free 3D editor for pep 3ds files

[wombat6926]

I just discovered something.

There is a free 3D editor called Google Sketchup, you can find it at: http://www.sketchup.com/

This program will IMPORT 3ds files used by Pepakura but will only EXPORT (not Save) in GOOGLE Earth 4 KMZ format.

Peakura will IMPORT these KMZ files. This provides a roundabout way to edit the files.

Hope this helps.

also if your feeling adventurious(spellcheck) you can try 'gmax'. its like 3ds max (by the same ppl infact). its free and available from turbosquid.com do a quick search on the site

i think you might have to register or something but its no big deal. also alot of the halo 2 models are available in 3ds/obj format there.
