I have some old 3D software apps that are over 10 years old from my past days when I played with 3D a lot more. So I've never upgraded and some of the software nolonger exists, but still works fine for my needs. I use Nichimen Nendo, an easy to use subdivisional suface modeler to create the 3D elements, including all those fish in the water, which I export to .3DS format, import to Raydream Studio 5, add basic grey color, lighting, shadow variances, sometimes I place a ground level to show shadows, set the rendering parameters and render a JPG image. I trace the 'outline' of the 3D models in a vector program to cut it out, color and place into my maps. Map work done in vector app, Xara Designer Pro 9.
