Nice find! I was able to GetRight this - I was getting ~520k/sec until the last mb :cry: and then it took about 5mins to finish with much prodding from GetRight...

It was still quicker for me to download the 15mb tool than the 633kb docs for it though. :lol:

Seeing that the gmax listing on the first post ...it is no longer on the discreet/autodesk website.
autodesk dropped development and support a year or so ago

You can still get it here though:
http://www.turbosquid.com/GameTools
they also have a set of forums for it.

Oh and Turbo Squid is a great place for models, textures, and stuff.

After playing around with Vizup, I couldn't find anything that would open VRML 2.0 files, most things only open 1.0. I searched for a few hours and tried several pieces of software. Do you know of a specific tool that will convert files exported from Vizup?

Grome Standard & Professional edition, probably one of the best current terrain editors available, also supports object placement, lightmapping & instance output. :).

I know that trees are tricky, as few free programs for creating 3d trees exist and I feel that this one should be on the list, it can export animated trees in b3d format (irrlicht compatible) is free and has an interesting license
