I'm looking for a good terrain/object creating program that I can get for free. I'm not cheap, I just have no money (sux being 17 with no hope of a job in the near future).

Most object creators that I have found (that are free) (all 2 of them that is) are either so complicated that I doubt the people that coded them could figure them out, or don't seem to do well in the applications that I want.

I want to be able to create an object one polygon at a time. I am not very artistic so I want to be able to build by doing nothing but typing (lol, if that's possible, not a requirement but it would be nice)

The programs I've looked at basicaly make you start with an object like a cube and go from there. you can't create any more faces, though you can split the faces you have into more faces, but taking a cube, using the command/rule set that those programs have, and creating a terrain so I don't have to use the ghey matricies that you get in DB which have about 2x the polys that you need (at least).

Well 2 things

1. MatEdit (COPY THESE LINKS: www.matedit.com)

MatEdit is a very good terrain editor.

2. DeleD (www.gamefortress.com/deligne)

A very good level/object creator that I used. I don't use that anymore, I use 3ds max, ooh very expensive! It took 2 years to save up for that! That's more advance, don't go straight to that yet though.

You could try animor for modelling ( www.anim8or.com ) although the latest version is coming out soon.
And for terrain you could try out terranim8or found at http://www.biederman.net/leslie/terranim8or/terranim8or.htm
it is sort of a sister program of the first. These two are quite basic but no installation is needed which is a real plus.
If these aren't what you want then sorry but they are high-standard for free software.
