Tony,

I do my 3D in Adobe Dimensions for the Mac. That's right a stone-age,
essentially free program. It's not meant for what I do with it and I should
have migrated long ago. But I've been using it for so long I know how to
tweak it. For lighting effects I open the file in PhotoShop and do it all
manually.

As for attachments, I post my messages using Outlook Express, which handles
attachments with drag and drop ease. I don't know how to attach things via
the web interface.

btw: I don't consider this stuff off topic.
