I'd like to add a another potential software to the modelling shootout. BlenderCreator by NAN. The current version is 2.22. I've been using Blender for six months, and I think it's a great tool. It has everything you need to get started without the investment that you would have to make for a more popular modeller. Blender Is a full featured, all in one program that supports nurbs, curves, metaballs, animation, you can build complex layered textures, and phototextures. It uses open GL and has it's own renderer and Game engine. It's an all in one package and it's FREE. The only downside that I've found with Blender is that it only exports dxf and vrml1. To get around this, I use Crossroads to convert my models to .obj format to use them with Poser and other apps. The interphase takes some getting used to, but once you dive in, I think you'll find that you can work alot faster than with other apps. Definately worth checking out. That's MY 2 cents.. Peace~
