I started modeling with Poser and a text editor and still today Poser is my main platform with the help of a program done by myself.
In third place comes Rhino 2 for creating some shapes and parts and in the fourth place is 3dsMax 3 used in a stupid way (I need a cylinder with 40 sides, I go to 3dsMax...)
Another tool that I can use is UVMapper, but today its use is almost replaced by my software.

Stupidity also evolves!
