So to make a long story short, no Runtime Revolution does not directly support 3D file import.

Decided to order the book. I guess this place actually prints the books as they are ordered so it should take between 2-3 weeks.

So RevStudio doesn't support 3D file import or any kind at this point? You have to purchase that Franklin 3d program to add these features?

I noticed there was once a book written for RunRev called "Software at the Speed of Thought." It looks like they have updated the original to a 2nd edition but the print date is 2006. Does anyone know if this book would be of any help in learning RunRev 4.0?

What about a call to an external program? I am thinking about a simulator here instead of a video simulation. Someone remarked that Blender has both the 3D modeling and game engine built into it. I never thought about it before but he is right. Then I thought that Swift3D would be another good alter...

Is it possible to build a training product that includes 3D Visual Simulations like a working motor or some other device showing the moving parts etc. in Studio?
