3D modelling tools

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/3D modelling tools

Hi,

I want to be able to do 3D stuff by the time Max3D comes out but am a bit lost to which tools are good to use. Normally when it comes to tools I would go for the free ones, but I tried the free ones and didn't really like them that much. I tried the 3D world studio demo and decided I would probably buy that when I have the money. But that still leaves something to model characters and stuff with. So are there any (not toooo expensive) tools that anyone could recommend?

Thanks,
Matt
