3D Object Creation Questions

We just go our DL-2s in and we already have several clients that want to take their 2D logos and extrude them into 3D objects and then load them into our DL-2s via the CMA software. The information that I have says these user objects need to be in a 3D-Studio Max Format. A couple of questions.

1. What exact format/file type to they need to be in?
2. What software do you need to just extrude 2D objects into 3D objects? Does it have to be the full-version of 3D Studio Max or is there something less expensive and simplier that will allow you to do it?
3. If other software exists, what is the ballpark price and hardware requirements?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your help. Sounds like we should start with Deep Exploration to just convert existing files to 3D and then work into 3DS or LW for more advanced stuff. I have used both many years ago and don't have a preferrance. Both have increased in price dramatically, but both have also increased in performance as well. Thanks again for you help.
