Right, those in glass houses and all, but this piece of software seriously drives me crazy.

Any suggestions for an alternative free 3D modelling and animation studio?

I looked at student versions for both Maya and 3ds Max (both autodesk products). Looks like anyone can download and use - there is no proof of being a student required, however, they watermark everything generated with the student edition.

The real problem though is if I use and decide that I want to buy either of them the cost of the commercial product is $4k.

LDD is by far the best 3D modeling software.

Used sketchup about 4 years ago. From what I remember, it was decent, but a lot more CAD oriented. Perhaps it's changed or evolved since then? The solution I'm searching for is software suited to character and environment modelling.

It seems to me as if the OP is trying to get something for nothing. Who is going to devote a large portion of their life to writing a 3D rendering & animation program and then only get paid by donations? Seriously. :O

I would expect plenty of people. Have you ever used a *nix OS? Do you ever read wikipedia? Used jquery? Git?

Have you ever heard of any of these guys: Donald Knuth, Richard Stallman, Linus Torvalds

Yeah but I mean can you find any high-quality free 3D rendering or animations programs out there? I realize that there are some people who do write free software/hardware/OS/libraries but I'm talking specifically about this niche.

Are you looking for a tool just for yourself, or also potentially for work? Like does it matter if it's an "industry standard"?
