just to add that there is an xtra w/ Thingmaker for use in Director to

export MMD files as 'things'- I did some little tests a few months ago and

it seems to work pretty well.


No mac version, or even plug-in - which means I can't/won't use it. Too

bad. I  hope they do come through on the Mac side eventually.
