I second Wings3D. It's Open Source, free, and easy to use. Just pick any modler you feel comfortable with interface wise and try making a simple prop to start with. If you have probelms you can always ask here or at one of the other forums. Be sure to look for .obj export capability, since .obj is the prefered import format for Poser. jon
