Tatoo3D mesh texturing. Lets you rotate your model around and paint on its surface.
Free for non-commercial use.
Low cost registration otherwise.
Requires a graphics card. Seems to only work with tri based meshes. :glare:
Your friendly neighborhood Wings3D nut.
Also feel free to browse my freebies at ShareCG.
There might be something worth downloading.
Poseray
http://mysite.verizon.net/sfg0000/
This is mainly intended as a utility to allow various 3D model formats to be rendered in PovRay, but it has other uses, for example you can convert a range of 3D formats to OBJ (+MTL), which Poser & Daz fans would find useful. Also corner angles can be set so the aforementioned progs don't smooth the model into a blob.
Lithunwrap
http://files.seriouszone.com/download.php?fileid=198 (but also on various mirrors)
A `donateware' UV mapping tool that preceded Ultimate Unwrap. It's no longer supported by the software's author, but is still available. Can import and export most common formats, so it's a good reliable converter even if you don't want the UV mapping. You can select polys in your model from a flat map or using the Open GL viewer.

Okay gang. This is going to be the new software resource thread, where we'll keep a listing of freeware and shareware modeling apps on the net. Be sure to mention the type of modeler (polygon based, nurbs, pixol based like ZBrush, etc.).
