What do you use to make your models? (models in all aspects, including modelling and texturing.)

Milkshape just because of its power and import/export capabilities.
Anim8or for static objects. CharacterFX for animation.

I'm just learning (modeling), but I use GameSpace.

I plan to use GIMP for texturing.

Oh yeah, and I'll be using GameSpace for animation too, when I'm ready for that step. Right now I'm working on UV unwrapping, which is also being done in GameSpace. Boning too.

I use Truespace 3.2, mainly because its free. It's not as specialized as Gamespace, but it works. I also have a free version of 3D Canvas, which is a really good tool, I'm just not real good at it yet. Both of these program are free, which gives an added bonus to game designers working on a VERY low budget like myself.

I got anim8tor, and i didnt like it. I also tried wings3D, and didn't like it. I tried 3D canvas, and got used to those controlls. So, I can basically only use 3D canvas right now. I'm trying to learn blender though, because blender is, I think, the best free 3D modeller.

I've been using 3d Studio Max in uni and will post some of my models here shortly. I really like it, powerful stuff.
