Um human models and ease dont exactly go together. I would go with Milkshape any way you look at it. If you have seen simples "Royalty Free Human Model" post he made that human in milkshape. Its really the best, most reasonable modeller out there! You just need to learn how to use it first, follow the tuts on the site, they are really good, especially the CS girl tut consisting of over 140 pages.

Sorry matey but if you can't do it in milkshape you're not gonna be able to do it in anything more complex. If it was spaceships, maybe doga could help you, but modelling humans is practically the same in any package if you want them low poly. Try sticking at something, you'll make a breakthrough sooner or later.
'Modelling with ease' comes only with experience, not software, but look at some similar topics below and you'll find links to nearly all the free modellers available

I started my modelling practice with swords. I modelled swords for my game and then I really started to get the hang of modelling Work on static objects first, then when you can whip those up in a matter of minutes, move onto different human limbs.

-Its really the best, most reasonable modeller out there

Milkshape isn't that good for modeling,I think it's better for animations and that wings3d is much better as far as modeling is concerned...I mean,Milkshape can't even select/manipulate edges ???

Also the one thing that bugs me in Milkshape,although I'm pretty sure Mete will implement this in MS2(which is too late for me) is the lack of view rotate options,you can't select a sub-object and make it the center of rotation in a viewport...This may not sound too bad but when the model get some more height like when you've done the legs it become a tedious task to rotate the view compared to the local viewport rotation Truepsace,Wings3d or Max/GMax have...Instead,you'd have to hide some groups according to your fitting needs...

Still for 20$ it's a good price which almost makes my post look like a rant...Cause' in fact MS is one of my favorite softs...along with Open Source Wings3d and Gmax of course...Which makes me think you can always learn some good stuff using either Gmax,MayaPLE and Softimage XSI exp(all free versions)

My god I feel bad not having told you also about Free Truespace 3.2 on download.com...Now although most people are blown by the interface at first like I did(it's mostly graphic but has a tip bar at the bottom of the screen),you get used to it and it's probably the best documented freeware modeler/renderer out there...I mean they have a way of making everything understandable in their docs...

To manipulate an edge in milkshape you just select the 2 vertices that comprise it. You turn edges in the face menu, though I agree it could be simpler. You get around the lack of view rotation by using the wireframe view on the 3d window, also like you said hiding vertices, but also by using the type in transform. You can rotate the whole model using this, then rotate it back by exactly the same amount, it's an extra hassle, but I've found theres not much you can't do in milkshape, though other programs certainly make it simpler. I only just registered it, and I'm using it more than max, just for a change of scene

Actarus, thank you. You are the only one who helped, others just were arguing with me on using and not using milkshape. The software u suggested is very cool!

Stop being so damned lazy, no-one was arguing with you.
This stoopid topic should never have been started in the first place since if you had half a brain, you might have checked the threads below like I said in the first place, where this question has been answered extremely comprehensively.
I mean, when you see a topic labelled "free 3D editor", why complain when people actually give you sound advice?
It reeks of someone trying to blame their own incompetance on others.
Here's a direct link for your convenience "dark basic pro master"

The fact that your machine is crashing on at least 2 different programs should tell even the most cretinous of morons that the software is not the problem, it's an issue with the system itself. Fix that first

Hello all.

I think that it writes the fact of Japan though I do not accurately understand the agenda.

Metasequoia is used most in the software that can be for no-charge used. Not only the amateur but also the professional is using this software. Animation cannot be done. It is possible to use it in cooperation with LightWave3D, Max, and trueSpace, etc.

If is used, it might be good.

MetasequoiaLE(Free),Metasequoia(Shareware)

Shareware is a very perfect tool. The UV relation is also wonderful, and it corresponds to a lot of formats. Modeling that is more excellent than trueSpace6.5 is possible. It is an especially perfect for game production tool.

An unregistered limitation of Shareware is limited to the preservation of an original format. This can be used as DEMO. I recommend both versions to be tested. It is a typical tool introduced to 3DCG magazine of Japan many times. In the first half in its twenties, it is young person that made this.
