Thanks Mustang, Joe. Lightwave is over my budget, and I've tried Blender, anim8or, Wings, OpenFX, and Truespace. Finally late last night I stumbled on AC3D, and it seems to be pretty much exactly what I was looking for, but I'll have to continue to play around with it of course.
And thanks for the interesting advice on level design. I never thought of that.
