Accidentally stumbled on this: https://rocket3f.com/
Seems pretty decent polygonal subdivision modeller with clean interface and good modelling tools.

After quick test, there are many things I like.
Is on beta stage, so not perfect but worth downloading and testing for those interested of 3d modelling as is free.
Thanks, it has subtract as well. I think I will be downloading this one.
Yes, I probably will too
Although there is some confusion on the pricing ... "Have no money to buy expensive software? Forget about this, Rocket 3F is completely free!" would logically mean it's FREE, but the "COMING SOON" pricing sections at the bottom of the page would appear to say something else.
Free subscription should have everything working and from looking at the forums on their page, paid subscription only removes icon with "free" text from the UI and will have more in-program help and documentation available.
At least beta seems to give pretty good pop-up help when keeping mouse on top of icons and as some functions also do different things with different mouse buttons or drag direction, those are actually worth reading. Alt+mouse buttons will get started with the program as those manipulate view. (zoom/pan/rotate)

Quick vase made from lathed spline curve. Gave thickness with "shell" tool and handle was made with extrude/bridge tools, also some creases were made sharp with crease tool.
Fwiw...this is not actually not a new modeller but a new interface and collection of presets for an existing modeller called Nvil.
Long time I looking for a simple program for organic modeling. Many times, I starting to learn Blender, Maya, 3DMax. But patience enough only for 3 days.
Finally I found Silo 3D.
Only necessary tools(subdivision modelling, retopology, sculpting, UV mapping). Ease to learn.
The program is paid, but worth the money and a lot of saved time.

Basic modelling with this is pretty similar to Silo.
There is no tool for creating invidual faces (At least have not found one.), so mixing polygon by polygon modelling with box modelling seems not to be possible.

Did some more testing and was easy enough to duplicate handle, move and then weld it on the other side.
It may be easy for you, but I found this one of the most confusing, unintuitive programmes that I've ever seen. It's going to take me months to understand how to do even the simplest tasks. So I'm going to try and dive into the HELP and MANUAL (if there is one)!Quote:

I personally found the user interface very clean and mostly easy to work with. Selecting loops and rings is especially neat and fast.

More testing, subdivision disabled. (Right click on materials to give more material options.)

Objects exported in OBJ format import fine into other software for rendering.
Attachment 114334
and the finished testrender
I must admit that at this stage, I haven't read anything, but I will.
Just jumped in the deep end ... and sank without a trace.
There are more videos added now and the questions seem to be answered fast on the forum.
Now I know how to bend things with this software, so can make things like tires.
Attachment 114345
One half of a tire in this occasion...
Modelling with this one is actually quite fun.

Nice work, how long did it take?
Top part took couple hours as needed to cut lot of loops for the details. Everything else was pretty fast to make from a simple cylinder and rectangle, so from start to "finished" state about 4 hours total.

Very good work @theinonen. Well done stamping on the top cover. It's a difficult task for subdivision modelling.
Although some where triangular polygons are visible.
Currently user interface looks like this with the newest version.
Attachment 114706
Modelling already works very well.
Modelling with reference images test.

Lada - soviet wonder car
After some more work, still need to add couple details before setting creases for subdivision.
Attachment 115150
Looks good.
After some more work, just about every detail from the reference images have been added.

Hello theinonen,
Colours are really cool, it remembers a lot the paint from the years the car was built.
Good work!
Nice job theinonen.
Looks like a lada work.��
I have been experimenting with characters, because animation is something would like to try making sometime later. Modelled simple cartoon style character and used Polybrush sculpting tools for shaping the face. After little cleaning, rude texturing and added clothing, it looks like this.
