As luck would have it I found a freeware program called 3d Canvas that is free for download from download.com. not a free-to-try thing but freeware. I'll be trying it out shortly...

blender3d.  It's even open source.
The free Maya is crap.  It puts a watermark over everything.

I just started looking into Blender3d.  It looks really impressive so far.

I used to use the POV-Ray rendering software and MORAY as my modeller.  POV-Ray by itself is pretty daunting for a newbie, but using MORAY makes it really easy.
Real Life.  Still a poor substitute for video games!
