I'm the odd guy out. I love the Electric Image Universe modeler, though it has the same problem that 3dmax has with poser unit size. The downscale version through www.dvgarage.com is realy inexpensive and does a heck of a job modeling. I have some links to the free programs at www.annsartgallery.com/freeprop.html Try the demos, when you get an interface you like, then spend the time getting to know the program.
