Funny how people here are always so sarcastic.
For 1 I really was'nt stating what I think is actually "THE BEST" 3d modeller in that case I would have to go with MAYA.
But I do agree with you andrew "it is whatever the user themselves feel most comfortable with"
However on a side note:
Blender can put out some amazing stuff if you know how to use it,
but the program has a high learning curve to it, the exports and imports can be confusing to someone very new to it. Plus it is open source which means things can be changed around by anyone.
which can make the program in the end very messy.
Wings 3d does'nt have animation plus I don't think it even exports
to x or dbo which are the formats you need for DBPRO.
You could try deled as well it is a modeler/world editor, Would not be very useful for uv mapping characters though. This is more a world editor.
As far as being compatible with DBPRO
TRUESPACE is a recently made freeware program. With tons of VIDEO tutorials on their site that will teach you the interface. It has 2 direct x exports of coarse as well as others. And has everthing you need to model/uv map/texture/animate and so on.... but without the learning curve that you'd find with BLENDER....
You know why it's called blender right?
because that is what most peoples brains feel like they went throught trying to learn it... lol just kidding.
