ShrikeGFX	Maxon wrote today that you can now get Cinema 4D as Student for free. Cinema 4D is a professional modeling program, and it usually costs around 3000 US Dollar. It is not used nearly as much as 3DS Max or Maja, because it is a little newer, and wasnt that developed initially, until version 11-12. They just released version 13 and I myself really like it. The interface is a lot more intuitive and a lot less ugly than 3Ds, and it seems quite powerful. It also has bodypaint integrated, so you can texture in the program aswell. http://www.maxon.net/en/home.html There is also more documentation as for Blender if im right, so It can be a nice alternative for the ones seeking a free modeling program.

Merk1b2	Additionally, I believe you need to contact a teacher when signing up. Opposed to Autodesk which practically hands out the keys and download.

TenaciousXL	There are also alot of free 3D modelling tools that are pretty good too. Like Anim8or (Tiny little guy) Gmax (free for ages) Sculptris (free and nice) There are more so I'll just list my page with the rest of them.(All FREE!) (Game Creation Tools) Freegameslist.weebly.com Hope you like it Edited by: TenaciousXL

ShrikeGFX	I dont think that its worth using your time learning any free modeling tool exept Blender. No professionals use them really and you need to relearn another program again.
TenaciousXL	Dec 23 2012, 1:14pm Anchor
TenaciousXL	@ShrikeGFX I don't completely agree. Sculptris is pretty powerful, professional and free.
Cryrid 3D Artist	Dec 23 2012, 1:33pm Anchor
Cryrid 3D Artist	I don't know how often sculptris is used professionally, but on the plus side it is such a basic and straight-forward vertex pusher that it requires no time to learn; no time wasted.
ShrikeGFX	Dec 23 2012, 6:54pm Anchor
ShrikeGFX	You have like no options at all in sculptis and If i remember right you can not optimize your work or export it properly and do all the stuff areal game mesh needs to have, but im not 100% sure. Its like a heavily cut Z-Brush demo.
Cryrid 3D Artist	Dec 23 2012, 7:20pm Anchor
Cryrid 3D Artist	(It can export obj files, so if you have access to another program, then you can retopologize whatever it creates. It's no where near the league of zbrush, but if you just want to sculpt and doodle then it works well for that).
