Are there any freeware 3d designers where you don't have to register downloadable, other than AC3D?

Semmern,

The best freeware 3d modeller is POV-ray (Persistence of Vision)

I thought POV-ray was just a renderer? I vaguely remember using it to render models I made using Lightwave, which was a freeware 3d model building program.... I'm pretty sure it was called Lightwave, but I could be wrong.

JT,
You are right. POVRay is a raytracer not a 3Dmodeler.
Excuse me Semmern.

Well, it is a very good ray tracer program as I remember it.... pretty amazing that it's free.

I just checked about Lightwave, though. It doesn't appear to be free. I must have been using a demo or something else....hmmm

There's a non warez link to some guys page who is giving away Truespace 1.04 for free in somewhere on the www.fshangar.com (old board) in the Projects section. (its about three weeks old so flip the pages back).
Truespace is okay, but i find it severely difficult to use as it has no keyboard interface to speak of. But if ya wanna make planes for sdoe, bite the bullet and buy Ac3d.

semmern,

Do you mean AC3D? If so, once you buy it you will be able to download the registered version. Then you can save! Also you will be alowed to download the current beta version - with this verion you can use Hippie's latest builder extractor plugins - very powerful!

Don't want to register! Are there absolutely NO freeware designers you don't have to register? I hate downloading something, thinking it's freeware, and then getting an annoying "you have to register bla bla bla"
message.

Well, not everything is FREE! AC3D is very reasonably priced for such a tool.
