Best 3d Modelling Program?

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

Hey there, Im thinking of having a serious go at 3d modelling, and I was wondering what the rest of the community thought as their faveourite modelling tool.

If you know the general price for a one computer non-commercial setup, then please tell me.
If not, Ill find out myself.

blender is sufficient for general use

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

Ive tried that, Ive found it OK to use, thoyugh to be honest I was a bit crap with the interface.

[NiTRoX]

SharpConstruct / Sharp3d (use by trem devs I think)
Art of Illusion
K3D
Wings3d
Blender
CB Model Pro Beta
Anim8or
Maya Personal Learning Edition
POV-Ray

Clay3d (coming soon)

etc etc.....

SharpConstruct / Sharp3d (use by trem devs I think)

it is a mesh sculptor and no it is not used for low poly models so not by trem devs

Art of Illusion

it is java based and only have basic modelling tools[/quote]

Wings3d
Anim8or

good for low poly modelling

POV-Ray

it is a ray tracer not a modeller

SharpConstruct / Sharp3d (use by trem devs I think)

This is depreciated in favour of the sculpt mode in Blender (written by the same devs)

K3D

Handy intermediate level program.

Wings3d

Good sub-division modeler. No animations, etc. Just modeling.

Blender

Intended to be the "do it all" program. So far it's sufficient to make animated movies (see "Elephant's Dream")

POV-Ray

There are front-ends to this such as kpovmodeler.

There is also Misfit Model 3D which does skeletal animation.

Sheeeesh I only tried to help...

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

Im seeing how 3d Studio Max goes.

(Thx Anger)

Imfamilier with Wings.
Might try Maya.

[Paradox]

I dont really do that much individual modeling, so bryce is mine.

Learn with Maya, then buy 3DS Max
