Iv been watching a few tutorial videos by tornado-twin which have been very helpful so far. But he mentions that its better to use different 3d modeling programs instead of just unity when creating 3d objects in a game. I just wondered which is the best choice (that is free to download) of 3d modeling software to use and learn on? Anyone one anything other than Blender, google sketch up or maya? I would be interested to know what you all use thanks! =)

Blender is free and good, but fairly complex if you haven't used a 3D modelling package before. Google sketchup is probably quicker and easier to get started with. It can export to Collada format, which should work with Unity.

i know this is old but sooo many people miss this. maya is in fact free if you are a student. just go to the alias site and navigate to the student page. actually don't bother cos it's here, look, just below :) free maya and other alias stuff for students ching ching! yeah but its for learning purposes only so cant really use in any unity projects

I'm using sculptris and have found it really quick to learn and easy to use: http://www.sculptris.com/download.html Heres a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DNRg6pdNeE It's a sculpting tool so it best suited to organic things like characters and trees, less suited to making buildings.

maya is free? I am a max user, I always thought maya was in competition with max. Did not know it was free.

One more vote for Blender. I hated it at first, but it was worth getting used to it, now I love it. You can try Maya for free, then pay $1745 USD after. And it's a huge investment in time too, so you might as well go Blender.

I suggest that you either use Blender 3d or Cheetah3d. Do NOT use google sketchup,as models created in it are hard to make well and are very simple. I know you asked for free modeling programs,but you can get very good ones for about $20. google sketchup is nice for architecture and building houses and non-nature envirements. ok for modeling everything else it sucks.

Cheetah3D on the Mac is excellent for the low cost and very intuitive to use. http://www.cheetah3d.com/

@fffmalzbier well spotted, I think that's apparent to people however and it's worth nothing that low cost and quality products are available and at $100 or so they are almost infinitely more attainable than high-end products like Maya
