      Does anyone know of a good 3D Graphics Program (preferably free or under $20) that is compatible with Mac0S 7.5.3 or under? I tried Strata 3D but it says I need at least System 8.5.

      7.5.3!? Jeeze! Why so old? Beats me, I don't think there ARE any 3D programs that work with something that old. Thats like Caveman days compared to now.

      Since beggars can't be choosers, I recommend POV-Ray. It's free, and I bet you can scrounge up an older version that will run happily on your system.

      The interface is a bit complicated to learn, but there's very little you can't do with it once you know how to use it.

      I have the same problem as Platypus, only mines worse, I'm not running on a power-mac and I only have system 7.5.1. Do you know where I can get POV-Ray, I can always use my frinds computer if it doesn't work on mine.

      Perhaps you could dig up an old copy of Stratavision (An older program by the same company that makes Strata 3D).

      Try mechanisto for PPC (I dont think it's 68k). Although it says it is shareware it is actually freeware now. If you want StrataVision 4, get a back issue of MacFormat February 1998. It's the program they used to make Myst...

      The best 3D program I have seen that is like $20 (maybe $30), is Meshworks. It's a mesh editor, if you know how to use an illistraightor, this shouldn't be too hard to learn.

      Hope you find something!

      Oh, I almost forgot about that piece of junk "PowerPC"!!! Mechanisto is for PPC's only, unfortunately. I tried Mechanisto on my heap of trash PPC, I could make any shape , but , I couldn't rotate or aply any transforms or move the camera . Like I said, heap of twisted fried circutry, it should work on your computer if it's a power-mac. I'm curently transfering all my files off my PPC.

      Woa!! Easy there Capt. Editor! One angry smilie would have said the same thing. And since Vader's link is broken, I suggest that instead of yelling at him, you go to (url="http://"http://www.google.com")www.google.com(/url), or some other search engine, type in "Meshworks", and see what comes up. 😉
