Hi all,

Although I'm not exactly new to 3D graphics, I haven't been using povray
for long, so forgive me if this is one is too easy.  ;)

I'm a linux user, so the use of moray for modelling is not really an
option.  I can do simple stuff just by writing the povray code directly,
but I'd like to use a gui for building more complex models.  Is there a
good quality, freely available (I'm poor) 3D modeler for linux?

I am aware of giram, though I haven't seen a recent version (because I haven't
installed gtk+ 2.0 yet...).  Any opinions on that program in particular?

Many thanks,

	-Ed

Probably the easiest to use (just my opinion of course) and most functional
is wings3d (http://www.wings3d.com). Has a plugin for pov output, or you can
output to obj, map and texture somewhere else, and convert to pov (with uv
info) using poseray (another excellent free utility).

Oops, poseray is for windows. Sorry.
