Wings3D is Free (Open Source), and outputs to .obj format. And it is the easiest to use 3D modeler I have ever used (and I've used all the free ones). You won't get a lot of answers about it here, but it does have its own very active and helpful forum (see link). It also imports and exports Nendo files, so you can use Nendo to color your models and avoid all that messy UV mapping if you want. The only caveat I would give you is that it has problems importing Poser figures (he's working on that), but for building stand alone props you can't beat it. You really should give it a try. jon
