Xara 3D v5 trial
There are more than 30 new features or enhancements over version 4, including some major additions. PLUS... Xara3D can now export in Flash vector and bitmap formats - so you can use them as standalone .SWF files, or incorporate them into existing Flash movies. ALSO, the new Export as screen saver option lets you choose the size you want your screen saver to be and it can install it for you too - meaning you don't need to change any of your computer's settings.
