The Best Free 3D Software to Download

Wings 3D

What We Like

  • Good tool for learning 3D modeling basics.
  • Supports many other 3D file formats

What We Don’t Like

  • Doesn’t offer features beyond the basics.
  • No animations.

Wings is a straightforward open-source subdivision surface modeler, which means it has similar modeling capabilities to Maya and Max but none of their other functions.

Because Wings uses traditional (standard) polygon modeling techniques, everything you learn here is applicable in other content-creation packages, making this an ideal starting point for anyone looking to learn how to model for animation, film, and games.
