Are there any open source or free 3D modelling/animation tools that are widely used by indie game developers?



I have tried out Blender and Milkshape 3D, but my question is mainly asking if there is any 3D animation/modelling software that is open source, free, or has an indie license available that is widely used by indie developers?



Answer



I really like Wikipedia's comparison articles; the Comparison of 3D computer graphics software article is particularly relevant to this question.


In particular, you may want to check out the discontinued Caligari trueSpace which was used in game modeling IIRC, or Ayam, "a free 3D modelling environment for the RenderMan interface."


But Blender, by far, is the most widely used free 3D software, and I do believe your second choice, Milkshape, would probably be the second most popular. I enjoy Milkshape myself because of the ease of implementation of the MS3D format.
