To create a 3D environment you'd usually use a 3D authoring package like 
Max, Maya, Cinema4D, ...
To provide end-user control over this environment you'd usually link the 
environment created to a scripting engine and write code. Director is 
one option for this, depending on your delivery requirements.

Director and Shockwave3D are ostensibly the same thing. #shockwave3D is 
the member type of a (native) 3D scene in Director, whereas Shockwave is 
the plugin that allows broswers to run Director files (2D or 3D)
