3D - 2

What is the best program to use when starting 3d graphic design?

Hey, I want to get started in 3d graphic design and I would like to know what the best program to use is. I know that there's Blender, but it seems to be not just designing since you need Python code to run it. (Don't even mention using Blender please. I know all about it and it is not what I want) I don't want to use Python. I just want an open-source program just for 3d graphic design.

1. google sketch up?
2. I'm not sure what you mean by "needing Python code to run blender" Blender is a standalone GUI for 3D design, you operate it by clicking buttons, just like any other 3d modeling environment. You CAN use python with Blender, but in no way is it necessary. You should have a second look at Blender, it is by far the best 3D app you can get without spending thousands of dollars on lighwave, maya, 3dsmax, etc. Your statement is kind of like saying "I don't want to use Photoshop because I don't know C++"
3. go with adobe Maya. You can get free educational version of the software, and is the software that was used to do all the cgi in the Pirates of the Caribbean.
