	61   Modeling   Wings3d
	Wings3d is an openscource modeling progam, this means that it is freeware. The program has new upgrades each year. The program is very easy to use : the menu is simple. It is also a popular progam for modelers in Activeworlds, because you can export the models in the .rwx-format and use them directly in Activeworlds, without needing to convert the models first. You can download the program from the website wings3d.com , the most recent version is version 2.1.7.
	60   Modeling   Truespace 3.2
	Truespace is a modeling program developed by the Caligari company. In 2008, Microsoft took over the program, but they did not develop the program anymore. The last version 7.6 became freeware. Since augustus 2012 , the website of Caligari went offline. However, Truespace is still used a lot in Activeworlds, as the file extension of Truespace (.cob) can be used directly in Activeworlds. There are several versions of the program, TS3.2 was a popular version. The final version 7.6 was freeware, and has more features , but is more complicated. Since the Caligari website went down, you'll need to search on the web for a version of the program. Version 3.2 is older and might not be compatible anymore with the current operating system of your computer, then you might try version 7.6.
	59   Modeling   Texturing programs
	When starting to model you also need to have already some knowledge about texturing programs. Some texturing programs are easy but have few possibilities (like Paint). Other texturing programs have a lot more possibilities , but are payware , but there are freeware programs which can do the same.	Gimp   PhotoShop   Fireworks     Paint.net   Inkscape   PaintShopPro
	58   Modeling   Modeling programs
	In the previous tutorial, you can read about what you need in AW in order to get the 3d model into the 3d world. But you also need to have some knowledge in advance about modeling programs. Not every modeling program is suitable for AW. For some programs, an additonal conversion program is required. Programs can be easy or complicated, and can be freeware or expensive.

	57   Modeling   Before starting with Modeling
	With modeling, we mean making your own 3d models. And this one of the most entertaining things you can do in Activewords. But before you start, you need to know that several things are needed to be done before you can bring the 3d model into the 3d scene of Activeworlds.	7zip   PhotoShop   FileZilla     Wings3d   Blender   Gimp
	56   Action Commands   Light
	With the light command, you can make objects more brighty, by creating a light source, and with a colour and an intensity of your choice , and then project this light upon the surrounding objects. This is especially useful in night scenes , and dark environments like caves and tunnels. In "daylight" worlds, the light command works also very well.
	55   General   Creating a night scene
	In Activeworlds, you can change the 3d scene into a night scene. If you are a world owner, then you can change the world settings. Also modeling is involved: some models have prelight, other models shouldn't have prelight at all. If you don't have a world, you can still make a night scene by using zones and skyboxes. In these cases, only a part of the world is dark.
