Thanks to Duskrider for bringing this to my attention.  Looks quite nice but due to it being free has some limitations.  The biggest draw back to me is that you cannot import models it seems. Maybe you can make some nice landscapes though.

It seems to be somewhat similar to all those other "FREE" software programs in that they GIVE you the main basic program THEN want you to Purchase all the various Models and Props in order to create anything worth while!

Blender and Wings3D and TrueSpace were a few of the ones that did not fall into the above category.

As Freddy and a few of us are aware, there are some unscrupulous individuals intent on trying to market a Tutorial-based version of Blender for $47.00 USD. Most of us know that Blender is a really great piece of OPEN SOURCE software and is FREE!! Just be on guard for the long eye-candy types of ads promising amazing 3D images and animations, etc....
