anim8tor is one file, and fits on a 1.44 floppy (anyone remember those?...;) Gerald Day has a link on his site to Anim8tor. I've used it a little as a curiosity (before I found Wings..;)

There's thousands of modeling programs out there, each with people that swear that it's the best solution. If it can create objects, modify them, and allow for textures to be applied, it's a good start.

Wings is pretty easy for most folks, anim8tor is fairly easy as well. Blender is....well, jack of all trades, master of none. It can do a million things, but you have to know which menu...ok, I'll stop...;) But they're all free. Heck, I think some older versions of Truespace are still out there, though it made me feel like I was modeling using Qbert (but am I dating myself now...;)

This is a perennial favorite topic. There's tons of advice on this in the forum, going back as many years as you want for suggestions and tips. Do a search on modeling, take a nap, and the first few thousand will show up. Still, it's important to ask.

'sides, you might come up with something neat and nifty, so we all want that.
