Good (and free) 3-D character modeler?
I’m looking for a free 3-D character modeler. Not some cheap little doll-maker, something that actually allows a large range of designs. I wanted to model some of my Sonic characters/Pokemon characters/other anthropomorphic characters in 3-D (or at least try to) but I don’t know what to look for.
If you need some free software for 3D modeling then here are some free programs you can try out
