Hey guys... it has been a while since I do some type of organic modeling...
I was working with Rhino3d, but i decided that I'll be better off using some type polygon base 3d program... what free programs are out there?
I think I'm gonna end up downloading the latest version of Blender...
I'm planing to import it to maxwell later on

Okay, I know there are some good texture mapping programs out there but I don't remember the name
(they were not free though
)
or better yet, does anyone know of a plugin for rhino 3d for poligon modeling (extruding, adding vertices, etc)
help!!

Silo, not free but very cheap for what it's capable of:

I'd go with Silo aswell.. It's dead-easy to pick up, and you can use it in demo mode for 30 days or more, but after I think it has a restriction on number of polygons.

i agree..go and buy silo or 3dcoat..both have a very low price for what they offer

I'm back... I kept working with Rhino with great results ( It's frustrating to work on something when you're not familiar with the tools)
ANyway, what programs do you guy know that will automatically refine/ optimize meshes
thanks!

when you are on rhino you should check out T-splines
and MOI (because of the new mesher)
if you are looking to repair meshes, rhino is very good in that area, check for meshrepair in the manual; there are many mesh commands for fixing meshes into watertight ones.
free rhino plug ins:

free standalone software for that:

This is what I'm doing....
I would like to create a polygon model with the less amount of polygons, that looks neatly (quads)
