There's a lot of of software available for doing this but it's a steep... scratch that... there's no curve. It's straight up. :P Do you have experience working with a timeline or video? That will certainly help. There's a few decent free apps available, have a look at TruSpaces and Blender.

Thanks for the response. I am a web designer and I do a lot of stuff in Flash so I am hoping there is something out there that will not take that long to learn. I will look into those programs you mentioned. Thanks.

Now that I think of it I recently came across an offering from Google. That was trialware though.

The Blender software seems very interesting. Has anyone used this before? What's the learning curve like? Any good books for a total noob to 3D? Has anyone ever done any Ray Tracing? What sort of equipment is needed for that or is that over kill to render a wrench? How do blender 3D render/animations export to Flash? Any ideas?

You'll have to work back from Flash whatever works the best... For example with the 3-d animation software I'm using if I want to import into a video I'll render the animation as sequential .tga's using alpha channel. My video editor can import these and will assemble them as individual frames. Works perfectly for overlays.

You could do your rendering directly in Flash, managing movement and perspective mathematically. Examples from Mr. Corbin [adobe.com].

That's a cool article, one I will save. But I am not sure if that will be able to pull off what I am thinking. I found an example of what I want to do online but I am not sure if it would be appropriate to post the link. If anyone is interested please contact me. Thanks.
