Where do you get Amapi 3D from?

?I googled it but apparently the company that created it shut down / sold off.

Just wondering what 3D modelling tool(s) you use for game development.

In the past I've used Hammer (specific for ID Software-based tech). I then transitioned to Sketchup for some time, but it never cut it. The free version is insufficient in terms of exporting options.

I am using blender at the moment, I greatly recommend it.

As far as I've understood however it isn't better at baking than all other paid software. But for free, that's an accomplishment!

Ive got

3Ds Max 2014

Maya 2014

Blender

Daz Studio

Cheetah3D -- cheap, fast learning and quite good features - mesh editing, material composing, animation, IK, physics, rendering (raytrace, caustics, AO, radiosity,...), texture baking, scripting... Disadvantages are in scripting (no access to vertex weights) and few editing tools are strangely implemented. For now, it is everything I need.

If you're just into modeling it's best just to grab Blender, duh.

Its feature set actually competes with the top commercial alternatives that cost many thousand dollars and it's free so you don't have to break any laws to get it. Nobody actually buys products like 3dsmax or Maya without serious plans about making a living out of modeling one day and BTW the competition is tough...

Blender doesn't cost you anything and I'd bet you won't be wanting to invest in any competing commercial software after seeing what it's capable of.

I use:

Google Sketchup (technical modeling- buildings and such)
Blender 3D (light mapping/ baking light into meshes, uv unwrapping, texturing,animation)
Wings 3D (box modeling)
Sculptris (sculpting)
Quidam Studio (character generation and sculpting)
Meshlab (viewing models and making technical edits)

My engine is Maratis 3D

I play with Blender, do textures with Gimp (I mainly like programming so I suck at the art though). Had to do a character and animate it in Blender for my game programming degree and it ran bow-legged (definitely not my strong suit).

Blender. I'll use blender + priovr suit for mocap (when the priovr suit is released).

If you are a student you can get the Autodesk tools like 3ds Max or Maya for free at students.autodesk.com. Commercial use is not allowed but if you just want to learn using the tools this might be a good option for you.
