TrueSpace
trueSpace is a 3D modeling tool, created by Caligari, Inc.

Overview
TrueSpace remains—while arguably limited and cumbersome—one of the most popular 3D modeling tools, mainly due to the price; nothing. There's very few programs and/or applications around that can beat trueSpace in the price department.
The most recent freeware version is 7.6. The second most recent freeware release was 3.2, which was used very often by the FreeSpace community.
Resources
There are numerous resources available for trueSpace, too numerous to mention here.
One of the most commonly used one is TrueView, which allows the user to easily keep track of mesh hierarchies. For a FreeSpace modeler, it is pivotal to set up hierarchies in a given way, otherwise turrets or debris won't work.

Warning
Do not give Caligari your true email address unless you're confident in your spam blocker. A common way to circumvent giving out a referrable email address is to enter no[at]no[dot]no (substitute the [at] and [dot] with an escargot(@) and a period, respectively), which contrary to public suspicion is a valid Norwegian email address.
Slopsbox is an interesting email concept made for just this type of situation. Send the spammer a random email in the Slopsbox domain, then go to the Slopsbox website and access the email to pick up whatever registration information you need.
