Hi all-

Any of you worked with tools for developing 3d and/or other rich media
banners and graphics?  I've been looking for tools to create some more
dynamic graphical content for my site than traditional flat 2d graphics.
Which have you used and would recommend?

Also, any of you familiar with a new tool called Cosmo PageFX (I'd posted
something about it a few weeks ago but didn't get much response).  I've
used the beta download (http://cosmosoftware.com/download/) -- thought it
was pretty interesting and creates pretty small file size (VRML-based) 3D
graphics.  Functions more like a traditional graphics program (no need to
understand VRML or anything like that).

FYI: There's a PageFX gallery that has some examples of the type of content
that it can be used to create -- it's got some kinda cool examples of
banners and other stuff:
http://cosmosoftware.com/products/pagefx/gallery/pagefxgallery.html

(you need Cosmo Player 2.1 to view the stuff -- it's available at the
same URL)

Would love some feedback from anyone who's used it or any comparable
products.  Also, would be curious to know what some of you think of the
kind of content displayed in the gallery and how interesting (especially
for banner click-throughs) it would be for visitors.

Thanks,
ps
