Simply 3D was probably the second most useful of the three for that purpose. True enough, it can create some great animation, but the file sizes are way too big to use on a web page. On the Simply 3D 3 box, however, the Web graphics aspect is downplayed a little.
Ease of use is the key word here, with a large array of wizard tools.
For instance, 3D text is created by typing in the text within the wizard's dialog box. From there it can be manipulated like any other object. Other wizards let you do such things as turn 2D graphics into a 3D objects by adding depth to them. You can then add texture, animation and so on. Much improved are the object, how shall I say, decorations.
