I use Blender. It's also free, Milkshake costs money but in some cases for Torque it's better.
To use Blender to create stuff for Blockland you need to get a Third-party extension, a Torque DTS Exporter (Which is also free and found easly anyway, but installing might be a bit of tricky as .blender might be hidden file).

3DS Max.

Beat me to it.

3DS Max.
 

However strange it may sound, that's the best way. Blender acts weird mostly (messed up colourshift for vehicles), and Milkshape has its bugs too. Too bad most of the time you have these two as an option, unless you are super-rich or have access to 3ds Max at school or whatever.

I use Milkshape often, and I find it's quite helpful. The few bugs there are don't cause major problems. I am a tad biased because I have never used Blender, but if you want to make guns, both programs are perfectly fine.

I like milkshape alot, but i would like to know how to use blender a bit more.

Blender is free and has plenty of functions and features, but can seem a bit overwhelming and complicated to newbies.

Milkshape is real easy to learn and super simple to use. But it will cost you a little to be able to save anything.



I use milkshape because I know how to use it better than other programs. But I have access to 3ds Max and I want to learn to use that instead.

I use 3ds Max. Got a free license from my school for my old Interior Design class, we'd use it to model custom furniture.

Its a students license which opens up ever Autodesk program out for 2011.

:D

Blender.
Or XSI mod tool 6.01, and then export it to another program, then export again.

[gzm]

looks like blender has the highters points will try it :3
and also milkshape

[TheKhoz]

I like Milkshape, but I suggest blender. The only reason I like Milkshape, is that I learned it first, so it is hard to learn another program.

Blender was good until they released the new stuffty update. They switched all the controls and it takes forever to get used to it. So I uninstalled it and I stick to the old one.

3DS Max.
 

Actually. I have used both Blender and 3DS MAX. Blender was better. 3DS Max was quite slow to start up. I absolutely loathe the camera navigation system. The UI is not as straightforward as Blender's is, and actually modeling something takes me much more time than in Blender.

I say that 3DS Max isn't worth it. I'm sticking to Blender.

No.

Get used to it, it was a much needed update.
