blender , wings3d , anim8tor take your pick there are a LOT of free packages out there blender and wings are probably the most well developed ones though.
it most certainly is not free .. btw isnt that poser :S ?

dont stray from the path of xsi. why do you want to switch all of those other modeling programs are inferior. what problems are you having?

 

[mindless_moder]

he just wants free alternatives.

 

[crackhead]

xsi is free.

no see my problem is(i've posted this on the forums before) xsi wont install on my comp. i have xp home and its updated and i've downlaoded it 20 times doesnt work so i wanted somthing that i could make model for hl2 in.

 

[crackhead]

ah ok well go for gmax milkshape sucks.

gmax is discontinued. I think you can still get a hold of it though just that you'll need a key which you can't get anymore.

 

[crackhead]

oh right. well yeah i heard blender is good. ive used many blender tutorials for xsi.

 

[JudasKing]

... theres nothing wrong w/ milkshape. if you know what a vertex is & you don't apply every fkin face to 1 smoothing group like most do, it's a nice quick program. and afaik, i believe it has an exporter for hl2.

 

[crackhead]

its still rubbish compared to software like xsi.

Gmax is still availible, what are you talking about. Try turbosquid.com they have a free download.
