"The right app don't come along everyday..."
Version: Anim8or 0.9
Pros
For object creation, Anim8or is better than almost all the other programs. Extrusions are simple to perform! Start a project and save it as a Wavefront OBJ.
There are scripts (plugins) available to add useful tools to the toolbar.Cons
2006 is ever further away. Ancient program for XP users and so on. Or Vista users, if you go to the developer's website and download version 0.97b. The Anim8or website also has a download of the 0.95 version for Windows 7.
And similar to Daz3D, you'll have to click a toolbar button to pan & drag your view of the object.Summary
The Pdf documentation that comes with the program is great at explaining how to use the tools! You'll be playing with a mesh in minutes instead of hours. Steve Glanville, the developer, did an excellent job of authoring a production level application.

""Just right!""
Version: Anim8or 0.9
Pros
Anim8or is easy, simple, and capable of good rendering with time.
Cons
Not quite as powerful as such programs like Blender, and is sometimes slow. On Vista, Anim8or occasionally crashed but its auto-save feature helps.

"Would give it 10 stars if I could!!"
Version: Anim8or 0.9
Pros
1. Very robust app perfect for beginners to 3D modeling
2. Very lightweight (not bloated and doesn't slow computer down to a crawl)
3. Easy learning curve
4. User friendlyCons
GUI could be streamlined a little bit to make workflow easier
Summary
If you're an absolute newbie to 3D modeling and looking for an easy, yet highly functional program to use, I can't recommend Anim8or enough. It's the perfect app to cut your tooth on and learn all the ins and outs of modeling without being overwhelmed with a gajillion menu items, palettes and cryptic functions that take forever to learn. No, it doesn't offer a lot of the snazzy stuff that you'd get in a high end program, but it's so robust that you can get a lot of mileage out of this program for your pet projects without the need for one. So... two thumbs up from me!

"Great"
Version: Anim8or 0.9
Pros
by far the best 3d modeling program I have used, quite good interface, easy to switch between views and also has a good wireframe view mode.
Lots of great tutorials on the anim8or site.
4/5 allthough its by far the best Ive used it could still be improved.
Brilliant for beginners (as long as you use a tutorial or two from the site.)
Cons
Takes time to get use to, im still not very good at it, and is frustrating at times.
