I’m going to write a bit about french company Dassault Systeme (partly Microsoft owned) and their free offering 3DVIA Shape which I think is a powerful piece of software. The modeling tools resembles Google Sketchup but I think the software seems more mature even if Sketchup has a bigger industry support right now. I also like the fact that it’s an online tool and that you publish everything you create to the community. It’s a sharing thing the way it should be.

3DVIA has recently introduced a plugin for Photoshop Extended that let’s you open community meshes straight into PS for texture painting (and further export into After Effects).

I found this nice clip on Vimeo:
