Unless you want gradient shading of imported models and key-frameable

multi-object animation, in which case try Swift3D.

A further warning on vecta, while the stand alone supports gradient shading

on internally created models and a form of toon shading (at least in the

demos) on imported models, the 3dstudio plug _only_ does flat shaded (no

shadows, nor 3d shading on the models) renders, so while a great way to

bring character studio animations into swf, its old or cheap cartoon level

of 'realism'.
