I was wondering - is there a way to model in say, 3D Max and import that shape, or are we stuck using the in-game building tools? I ask because I have been modeling game items for some time now, and I wanted to try my hand at SL, but the learning curve seems a bit steep for detailed models.

Not that I'm lazy, but well, yeah. I am :P

Grimm, Lumiere Noir has an amazing 3d tutorial set up in Noyo, off the river. It's set up like a musuem, and it basically teaches you the basics of the modeling system, and then tells you how to use it. You'll be a pro when you walk out of there!

Feel free to IM me in-world, I'll help ya out. :)
