By this statement right here:

I assume you mean none ;)

Free modelers:

  • Blender is usually the favorite choice for free. It's toolset is comparable to that of a paid product, but the interface is rather confusing and the learning curve is steep. It's open source :).

  • Google Sketch up has a free version that you can buy plugins for to expand its functionality. I have no idea what the licensing is though. Not good for much more than props.

  • Autodesk has a free version of Softimage. Similar to the professional version. I'm not real sure what the licensing is but I believe it is strictly for non-commercial projects so if you want to sell your game, then you would have to buy the professional version.

If you are just looking for models, then I would look at this thread right here.

There is no other Decent free modeling program around. Blender is has a hard layout but all modeling programs have all of the same functions it is just the way that it is made that makes it complicated. Once you learn one well enough you pretty much know all of them. $$anonymous$$aybe try the free softimage and then learn it and then work on using blender.

Personally I bought 3Ds $$anonymous$$ax because I found it one of the best... and I hated blender.
