Title: Free 3D Modelling Applications
Post by: RaXaR on June 28, 2007, 12:52:23 pm

I made this short list of Free 3D Applications for those not knowing where to start, and included a short description. Please post  corrections/alternatives for the apps I left out, I'll update this list as new stuff pops up.

A much better resource can be found here (http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Modelling) (Thx, BTAxis)

Blender (http://www.blender.org/)
Open-source, A bit tough to get into, quite powerful.

Wings3D (http://www.wings3d.com/)
Open-source, **Dunno, haven't used it**

GMax (http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax)
Free, Based on 3D Studio Max, easy to learn, powerful

XSI|Mod Tool (http://www.softimage.com/products/modtool/default.aspx)
Free, Based on Softimage|XSI, a little tough to get into, powerful

Autodesk Maya PLE (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=7639525)
Free, Based on Autodesk Maya 8.5, a little tough to get into, powerful

Personally I'm a Max and XSI fan ... but I'm starting to lean more towards XSI.
I hope this helps someone out there :)
