Grab'em while they're suitably appropriate for varying levels of ability (http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/25-free-3d-modelling-applications-you-should-not-miss/). :yes:

...Some of those are good, some are... I don't know.
I've seen most of those on SourceForge, honestly. BRL-CAD from my last look at the software is a bit archaic, but should be a pretty useful engineering tool. I'm actually more disappointed at what I didn't see on the list. No Wings 3D? It might have something to do with that blog page being 2 YEARS OLD.
The most interesting 3D software I can suggest is Sculptris, which if nothing else, is fun to play with: http://www.pixologic.com/sculptris/

In my own defence, I gave it a speed glance, caught 2012 at the bottom and checked the top for an earlier date. Work must have blocked off an indicative banner or something. :p

For the needs of this community, I think Blender is the most useful of the applications listed. Sculptris is also quite powerful for organic modeling. Wings should definitely be listed. I notice they listed SketchUp 6.0 but it is already up to version 8. I wouldn't recommend it for ship modeling though.

Now, granted, threads like this are good. I've started a few software discussion and review threads myself. But... for this thread, I'm not sure there's much substance to the contents of the link, Dekker.

Thanks for the list. I like trying new programs, although 3DS Max is still my go-to whenever I decide to fail at modeling. At least Autodesk realizes college kids are poor and gives it out for free...
