Rhino 3D homepage	More details
Rhino3D is said to be one of the best 3D modeling tools yet developed and I must admit it is a very impressive piece of software. Fully functional, early beta versions are still available at some locations so grab yourself one before they're gone.

 

Anim8or
Anim8or Homepage	More details
Anim8or is an OpenGL based 3D modeling and character animation program. Designed with animators in mind it does not currently excell as a 3D modeler for use by MTM editors but it still has some interesting capabilities. Anim8or's freeware status and continuing development makes it worth keeping an eye on.
