Thanks,

The level was created in GTK Radiant.

The map was converted to VRML using this program:
http://home.snafu.de/hg/vrml/q3bsp/q3bsp.html

It was imported into 3D Studio Max as a VRML and then converted to a .b3d file using B3D Pipeline.

The final lightmapping, flares and trigger positions etc were added in Gile[s].

I checked with the GTK Radiant people before using this work flow and it is acceptable for non-commercial demos.

Here's the email correspondance I had with ID Software:

Yep, GtkRadiant is free for non commercial use. Your situation falls
completely in this case, so please go ahead :)
