I am interested in designing 3D models. What are some good software?

Thanks in advance:D

3D Studio Max ... It's the Adobe Photoshop of the 3D world ...

I've used Bryce 3D with some really nice results. I have a couple landscapes I modelled at http://1ststrike.digitalart.org if you want to see them. I'm certainly not the best out there but you can get an idea of what it can do.

3DSM is proably the best

If you want free you could try Blender:

its all a myth ;)

people think this cause its pirated so much because it has poor copy protection.

in fact its not used as much as others (maya in particular) because it's for windows only. and what big organisation/studio are going to use windows on their render boxes? they use unix clusters to render their stuff. hence why almost all their competition is Windows/Mac/Linux compatible 100%.

www.aliaswavefront.com for maya info - they have a free watermarked version too

Yeah, I use the free version of maya too, Although it does have a watermark...
