		<description>Nalates, I think that&#039;s what happened, though what I wrote does suggests they spent the whole time solely learning how to use the Sandbox editor, which wouldn&#039;t leave time for content creation and would be really silly. 

To answer your question about whether there&#039;s a 3D modeling tool in the Blue Mars developer&#039;s pack: no, there isn&#039;t.  However, I have heard that this may come in the future, but not in the near future since they&#039;re still hammering out the main components of the core platform.  

Also, from what I know, the students didn&#039;t all know  3DS Max or Maya; most only knew Sketchup or Rhino 3D (a program I&#039;ve never heard of before), so the process may not have been as simple as it would be if they used Maya or 3DS Max; I haven&#039;t been involved with content creation in Blue Mars (yet) but perhaps a developer could chime in.  The forums would be a good place to ask about this if you&#039;re registered.

Thanks for the comment and I&#039;m sorry this wasn&#039;t as clear as it could have been, I&#039;ll try to make things more clear in the future.

		<description>I thought most Blue mars content was created with 3DMax or Maya and then the textures and surfaces adjusted with the Blue Mars tools. Is there a 3D modeling tool in Blue Mars developers&#039; pack?

If one already knows 3DMax or Maya, six weeks seems like a long time to learn the Blue Mars tools. They seem very intuitive to me. I expect most of the time was actual creation time rather than time to learn the Blue Mars tools.</description>
