Yea, I do quite a bit of 3-d modeling. There are a couple of free programs out there. Wings 3D is the best free modeler, Blender is more featured but less intuitive, and then there are free rendering programs like YAFRAY. Also Caligari TrueSpace has older versions of their commercial CG modeling programs for free, I think the latest free one is TrueSpace 4.3. Feel free to email me if you want to know anything else.

Rhino would be the easiet and most intuitive. Cars and Trucks are best modelled out of NURBS shapes, but can be done with polygon modelling as well -just a little harder

This is what he was talking about.
I only listed the free programs because the prices for such programs can be steep. Rhino does seem to be a pretty nice program, how long have you been using it, wibhi2?

Actually, I use 3d Studio Max. Have been for a number of years.

I tested Rhino back in the 90's when it was still in Beta. Robert Mcneil was a real nice fellow and has developed one of the best and cheapest dedicated NURBS (Non Uniform Rational B splines) programs out there, IMHO
