Auran have an XML importer which basically ensures that only good data arrives in Trainz. Currently only Blender uses it. Normal mapping is trendy again of the three Blender does it nicely.

Have a read of Paul Hobb's first Blender tutorial he goes into some of the reasons for using Blender. He also has some older GMAX tutorials which are very useful if you decide to go with GMAX. http://www.44090digitalmodels.co.uk
