Wilfem!
I'm so sorry!
I shoulda replied you earlier! (I actually forgot about this thread! I just Googled something else, and
inadvertently stumbled upon this here!)
You have to go to Wikipedia and read about Blender 3D. Ton Roosendaal and his friends wrote that
wonderful program in Python for people like you and me. Please don't waste the opportunity.
Please.
After you're familiar with the basic controls and navigation in 3d space; I suggest you go to
http://www.blendernation.com/tutorials/blender-3d-beginner-tutorial-creating-a-logo/and do the logo switch from 2 dimensions to 3. Don't be frightened of anything!
Time is what you have. Time is God's gift to man. I want you to take your time and learn it.
Learn it, Wilfem. Breathe it. Eat it. BE it.
It'll pay off in the end, I can assure you.
Blender is flexibility unimagined. And its free software.
And you can, in a couple of years from now (maybe), when you're better versed, modify the code
to suit your very own needs.

You can thank me later.
