I would say EMACS. ;-)

If that's not what you thought of, have a look at:

 afew years ago (in the breif 6 or 7 months that I ran windows after
selling my beloved amiga, and before I knew I needed a real system) I
trued a demo of a modler called Rhino.  I played with it for a few weeks,
but never delved into any serious 3d stuff back then.

But it was pretty cool.

How does this help, well I guess it could run under wine on a linux box.

You might want to check out Blender:

http://www.blender3d.com (follow the Blender Creator link).

The Blender Creator is free and there's a Linux version available. You 
can get to the download page more directly at:

http://www.blender.nl/download

The version I have is 2.14; they're at 2.22 as I write this. They've 
been working towards and emphasizing animation but I've used it to 
design and export mesh objects (using a Python script for exporting the 
objects as meshes to povray source files). Warning: the povray source 
files containing the mesh objects can get really big! You should be able 
to find the Python script (if it's not already included in the newest 
Blender version) somewhere in their knowledge base or resources links. 
You can also use a 3d converter program to take Blender output files 
such as .dxf and convert them to povray source files.

The Blender interface can be intimidating at first. I strongly recommend 
you check out the various tutorials out there on the web for it.

I don't know if it's the "best" but it does qualify as a 3d modeller for 
Linux ;)

It may not be lisp but some guy has written a v. good modeller in 
erlang.

the scary thing being it will be instantly decalred the Linux standard for
3d content creation, and all those who long for Linux Rhino (etc) will be
flamed for being clueless gui bound drones...

I don't like Blender, the UI is horrible; confusing on purpose, to boost
the sale of Blender manuals. :-D

TrueVision perhaps? Try http://truevision.sourceforge.net/
If this list of features describes the current state of the project, it's
not very useful yet, but the project is certainly more active then giram
( http://www.giram.org ), another modeler for GNOME. 


From the TrueVision homepage:
//------------------
Features:

Truevision is a 3D modeler for Gnome. It is still in developpement, so not really
stable and absolutely not usable yet. The current version can :

    * create boxes and manipulate them ( rotate, scale, translate ... )
    * create point lights and edit them.
    * manipulate and edit the camera.
    * render the scene with some basic options ( quality ... )
    * edit materials ( exept media and layered textures ).
    * output the scene to povray .

But Truevision is still unable to save any file !

Best regards,

Bas Leerintveld
