Custom Lots on a G5

[notchfiend 0]

I want to build custom lots. I have a G5. I want to know which 3D modeling program to use, please. I can't use 3DS Max because Virtual PC is waaaay too slow for that.  And, I've been told that Maya is more for VFX.  Besides, I want to use the graphics power that Mac is known for.  Remember, this is just the design the actual buildings.  In other words, what's  compatible with Lot Editor?  I realize LE is a Windows only program and I will use it when I get to that stage.  But, once again, what on my G5 will be good for the design portion.  Lightwave?

 

Also, I'm not adverse to using a file conversion program, once the design is done. What I mean by that is convert them to, say, 3DS to get the file to work with LE.

 

Any suggestions?

 

TIA
