Not free, but very cheap. Free usually comes with a lot of compromise. But all of the programs below are the best budget tools I have had the pleasure of using.
Pacemaker
Milkshape
Unwrap3D
Paint.net
All of these can be had for under US$100.00
For a bit more I would add Cinema 4D 6 CE. It's $100.00 but and is the best value I have seen in Pro 3D; great modeling and animation and renders very fast too and has good .X export.
