I have been interested in making 3-D models for a long time just for fun, but all the big-name cool-looking stuff costs a fortune. I've run across a few very cheapo programs that weren't worth the CD's they were pressed on (they'd only allow a few simple shapes & colors, no documentation or help files (!?), usually tiny image output exporting- like, 200x200 pixels. Whoopee.)

Also [while I'm dreaming] it'd be nice to have a drafting-type program that can also do fairly nice rendering... does such a thing exist? I have some knowledge of DirectX/Direct3D (what it is and what it isn't) and general programming, but it'd be a bummer to spend the time writing something myself only to find out that there's something already out there for free that I just hadn't heard about...
