Thanks everyone!

I finally have had time to work through PhotoModeler - LOVE IT!
For a beginner in 3-D it is easy to use but fairly powerful....and free?!?
Most freeware demos that I have downloaded is so limited that it is useless -
most
of the time, I don't even want to spend the time to learn if I would want to
purchase.

I am also slowly working through learning POV because it appears to be so
powerful!

Thanks for the leads and links!
