Blender.
Blender.
and... Blender.
No comments are needed to be left. It's just the best.

I voted for milkshape because it's the program I like the best.

Milkshape. It has the best interface and don't burn out my eyes ( like the others) also it's very comfortable and easy to use (i started my first attachment with Happy Taurens Tut today and it looks awsome!)

 

[chilla_killa]

Milkshape is pure win, GMAX exporter sucks, 3DSMAX is imba expensive and much to complex and Blender hasn't a proper exporter to .mdx.

The only one and best is Milkshape 3D!!

 

[D a w n]

my answer is 3DSMAX as it is simply the best of those you have in your poll(even if it's not possible to get for use mortals)
Milkshape is also pretty decent. Blender and GMax have very confusing interfaces which I never understood :/

3Ds max>Gmax>Milkshape3D>blender

3Ds max is the best tool for 3D modeling. People don't like 3Ds max because they have problem with learning it. You only use few percent of 3Ds max for Wc3 and the rest of 3Ds max tools confuses people. Just learn the basic modeling and you'll be fine.

Gmax is just a small version of 3Ds max. Just enough for making mesh and maybe some small animations.

Milkshape3D is just a tool for converting 3D model formats.

Blender, well I never used Blender but people say it doesn't have proper exporting script.

3DS Max is no doubt the best 3D modelling software I've used.

And I've heard Blender is crap when it comes to making wc3 models.

Even though i work with Blender, id have to agree with everyone who said 3dsmax, it may be complicated but it has many options to do many things...

BTW: Blender isnt bad for anything, it just does not have a workable exporter for warcraft so most people will not use it but after a couple of sessions using it, the interface becomes quite easy to understand

Blender doesn't have a direct to MDX/MDL exporter atm, but I'm busy familiarizing myself with the API over time and plan to do the same with the MDX format next. (Wee, scriptable via Python!)

And I do <3 it. Especially with the 2.5 alpha now out. To new users, it *should* seem much more usable. I find Milkshape far too simplistic and lacks the neccesary hotkeys/speed.

Never used 3dsmax, and just find gmax generally inferior to Blender. Advantage there is working MDX exporter.

Ist Maya there with 3dsmax , tho it isnt on this list. Refering to skrab's post.

But 3dsmax is best here if you ask me... most features to play with.

*doubts*

 

[BlinkBoy]

hmm, too bad Maya isn't in the list. I really love to use Maya for NURBS modeling.

 

[warman45]

i love milkshape but i'm too cheap to buy it =(

btw off topic:how do i make meshes in blender?

 

[Crazed_seal2]

I think milkshape is the best.
BTW: Any1 know a good animating program. I wish animating models was as easy as pivot!

I thought we're talking about Wc3 modeling programs...

3Ds max

milkshape

I'm a user and it's really not complicated to learn, use, its very simple to understand. excellent for wc3.

though for things outside wc3, i'd go for 3d's max, definitely, it's just more professional, but i prefer sculpting, so i'd take zbrush over it.

Well... milkshape ...

 

[Mulgrim]

what's pivot? i see this on milkshape discussions sometimes but i don't know what it is.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Pivot? Isn't that an animation software for stick figures?

Half of you guys havn't even used all of the tools. Download the 3ds max trial, by far superior to all of those listed. Used by countless companies daily to produce next-gen games. The question was what's the best not whats the cheapest, 3ds max is far more powerful than milkshape, end of story.

 

[Mulgrim]

i thought gmax was the trial version of 3dsmax, if gmax sucked for me then 3dsmax will too.

if not list some perks

 

[infrenus]

3DSmax. I use milkshape because its easy to understand and all, but the most complete is 3DSmax. You can make anything there

Gmax is a "Mega insane compact" free version of 3DSMax, so its different
