I've got 3D canvas pro but it died recently and I can't get it to install. So to keep me going until I next need to do a complete format I've being playing around with other modelers.
I've just tried Wings3d and I love it. For low poly modeling it is so fast and has the perfect interface.
Anyway modeling isn't realy my thing but I wanted to share how impressed I am.

1st model I made in wings: (took about 1 hour)



A head wip: (about 10minutes so far)



You modeling gurus won't be too impressed, but I'm well chuffed.

Nice... I'm a Wings 3D buff... and I'm also a beginner too.

You should check out my heads too. I like your head. it's clean, it's simple and it gets the point across.

Now that would be a good chat-up line.

I'm just messing about with image plains and vertex manipulation modeling. Again, you gurus may scoff, but I am mighty pleased with what I can achieve with this mighty fine tool.:

I 4rth that!! lol...i use Wings3d to unwrap all the models i do, because it's quit possibly the best unwrapper I have ever used!

I use it to model simple objects as well, but leave the complex up to Truespace.

@ Xenosythe

I was making it while learning the the tools so it took a couple of hours, but if I was to do a Torso again , using reference images then it would probably take me about 30 mins to get to that point.

@ blooddeath

The reference images are very easy to set up. In wings RMB then click image plane... load your front image. Select it , press 'x' to look along the x vector. Now keep CTRL pressed and RMB->Rotate->Y and rotate until its facing front (ie dissapears from view when loking along x). Now press 'r' to reset view, press space to select nothing. RMB -> image plane... load side image. Now select both and RMB->Scale->Uniform and scale to size you want. Select side view plane, RMB->Move->X and move to just outside work area. Ditto front view plane on Z vector. Nearly ready...
Now deselect both, goto Select->Lock Unselected. Now we ready.
'w' toggles wireframe. To vertex edit always switch orthogonal view - key 'o' toggle orthogonal. You can switch between z and x views - keys 'z' and 'x'.

*edit* - also I crated a virtual mirror. I started with a cube, scaled it down and moved it so the left side of the cube was exaclty at the centre of the model. Now I selected the left face of the cube and - Tools->Virtual Mirror->Create. Now I just modelled the right side and everything was mirrored on the left side.



@ Moondog

I've had a quick look at unwrapping, and it looks realy easy and quick.

if you have any questions on unwrapping, or methods, just ask, i've been using Wings for a long time...and when it comes to unwrapping, i know a lot of neat techniques to get around even the hardest objects.

@ Dared1111 - my skills lie in taking a screenshot at just the right angle, to hide the floors in my model

@ Moondog - thanks, I gonna have a go at unwrapping with wings this weekend. If I get stuck I'll ask here.

Here's a 1 more piccy. Not something I'm working on, just messing about. No head feet or hands, just wanted to shape out a rough male. Took me just under 2 hours:
