A good 3d app to mess around with ?

[snow-munki]

Hi,

bored at home and not doing too much, and was wondering what 3d app do you reccomend for a complete noob to play around with...

someone posted an image of something done in Poser 5 which looked pretty good...

any reccomendations that is easy to pick up but also produces good results ?

Thanks in advance

I use sketchup, they have a free 8 hour trial and the app is pretty easy to understand

www.sketchup.com

(i use it for my Architecture degree, but it has ability to be used for anything 3D)

you can get a free version of maya, and blender is completely free...dunno about noob compability though:D

or you could just get that special ed of ut2004 that comes with the help videos etc on level design:)

you can download the Maya Learning Edition which may well help. It comes with some basic tutorials to give you an idea of the basics ...
