Got a tip from a fellow classmate in my Game Capstone class, free 3D modeling software and FBX plugin for compatibility:
http://www.daz3d.com/i/3d/free-3d-softw ... _btn=start
http://www.daz3d.com/i/3d-models/-/fbx- ... ?item=4137

You need to register and make an account (only requires name and an email), and because the order is free (until the end of March) you don't need to provide a billing address when asked.

Sorry there's not much time after this post (and potentially in the wrong forum :S), but it should be enough for some people I hope ;)
My first mod, mostly done, still balance testing.

Thank you very much Wurmish! :D

After the discontinuation of Bryce 5.5 free, I've been using Bryce 7.1 lite (which is free).
The offer for a free Bryce 7 Pro and DAZ Studio 4 is limited and awesome.

Thanks again.

Normally, i stay away from modelling software and the like, because I don't have the knack for them. this, though, looks beautiful and best of all is free! how can I say no?

THANKYOU the files are too big for me to get right now: so I placed my orders : they are available on my account for download , in theory, I think I can get them " later " ( such as when I go to town; GCI unlimited is not out here ) .

However, I noticed that some of the stuff has "content" files:
should pay attention to that, if you want to grab some free content as : i think : it means templates or tutorials, but I ordered them too :).

I got a wishlist a mile long of things I probably could afford to buy to fluff out the program.
I am NOT any good with image making, but Ill grab everything I can get trying to improve :)

I missed out on that, but I always liked using Wings3D(Freeware) with a trackball instead of a mouse. I never got really good at it, but I think it's a good 3D modeling program.

Yeah, all Wings needs is a renderer and it's good to go.

yeah, modelling with Bryce is very different as it's done only by using primitives and boolean operations.
I use Wings3D for modelling and then Bryce for rendering.

Actually, digdug, I'm not an expert so I don't know which way is easier/better, but Wings3D CAN be used to render with external renderers like Toxic, Yayfray, or OpenGL.

It also appears that this site has a number of Wings3D and Blender tutorials. I may check those out.
