Free 3D modelling packages

Recommended Posts

There's one free 3D Program that I found called Anim8or. Even though it is still in beta, it is quite promising in feature and ease of use. It allows 3d modeling, but no rendering yet.

But if you want a cheaper 3d modeling software that has similar features as maya, and that's under $300.00 (or so I think), then there is one program called gameSPACE.

No problem. Once you find a program you like, I suggest you get on IRC(a chat medium). There are lots of people and groups on IRC that are dedicated to these programs and have people that will help you out in trying to learn/perfect your skills using these programs.

Blender is amazing, it's great and open source now. I remember when it was going open source and they needed donations. Some friends of mine and I were checking the site daily. Blender is extremely powerful for a free 3D modeler, and it doesn't have crippled or no rendering like gmax. The only difficult part about it is the interface, which once you get used to it, it seems a lot more efficient than some other programs. You just keep one hand on the keyboard and the other on the mouse. I also enjoy using POVRAY, since I'm a programmer it's kind of neat to write a script to make the scene.

Cool programs. I always wanted to get another good 3D program on my comp. I forgot the name of the one my firend uses but now I remeber [MilkShape]. I already tried to work with Blender3D but I think I need moooore tutorials on it. :) What do you think is the easiest program to get started in?
