HI, Iam new to most 3d programming and the main thing I need right now is a 3d modler program like lightwave but in a cheaper price range say free to $100. Thank you to anyone who helps me.

Blender and Strata 3D are two free programs. I''d try them before buying anything. I have links to some other free stuff on my web site if you want to check it out.

blender is a very nice free tool for modeling objects with alot of sharp edges and low polygon count. useful for making things like guns and objects. goodluck if you ever try to make something organic though... (headache suddenly seems to revive)
