Hi there,
CanDo have just released version 1 of their training application.
A number of colleges are using this toolkit, including University of Ulster, Jordanstown, Magee, Belfast Institute, NWIFHE, and a number of others overseas ( including Abertay ).
It allows students to create interactive environments at the same time as learning how to create 3D models and texture / animate them. The easy of use, and speed of the export ( a matter of seconds ) ensures that the students interest is kept.

We support a wide range of 3D applications right out of the box, including…
* 3DS Max
* Maya
* Lightwave
* TrueSpace ( using the Conversion Pak ) or GameSpace
* Cinema 4D
* Cararra
* formZ
* Electric Image Animation System
* 3D Canvas Pro
* SoftImage XSI or Blender ( these use an offline XSI to W3D converter )
The evaluation can be downloaded completely for free at…

If you know any lecturers who are teaching 3D modelling ( either game related or otherwise ), please feel free to send them this info and link.
Many thanks…
