Best 3D Modeling Software
There are many types of of 3D modeling software out there, but we’re going to take you through a list of some of the most popular ones.
1. Sketchup
Sketchup is a user-friendly application that’s free to download and great for 3D modeling beginners. More advanced versions cost money, but you can still create great renderings and animations with the free version.
2. Blender
Blender is another free 3D modeling application. Features include sculpting, animation, photorealistic rendering and video editing. For those ready to step it up a notch, the software also allows you to craft full 3D games, edit videos and realistic simulations (such as fluid, smoke and hair).
3. AutoCAD
Autodesk’s AutoCAD is one of the most versatile and widely-used 3d modeling applications out there. It’s used by engineers as well as environmental, industrial and graphic designers. As an added bonus, they offer online videos to walk you through the software basics to get you started.
4. Rhino
Rhino is a curve-based 3D modeling software that creates mathematically-precise models of 3D surfaces. It’s used in architecture, industrial, product, multimedia and graphic design. Rhino offers and entire library of online tutorials, live classes, training guides and more to help you kick things off.
5. Revit
Autodesk’s Revit specializes in architectural design and structural engineering, specifically Building Information Modeling (BIM). Features take you from free conceptual sketches to sustainable energy analysis, with plenty of collaboration and worksharing capabilities.
6. 3Ds Max
3ds Max® by Autodesk is a 3D modeling, animation, simulation and rendering software used in industrial design, film, games and motion graphics. Designers can make their creations come to life with more believable textures, human-like motion, flowing hair and fur, particle simulations and more.
7. Maya
Also by Autodesk, Maya 3D is a 3D modeling, animation, rendering and simulation software. Maya 3D very similar to 3ds Max, but less user-friendly for beginners. It’s used in video game development, animated films and visual effects and offers higher-end tools for characters and effects. You can start learning some of the basics here.
8. Cinema 4D
Developed by MAXON, CINEMA 4D is a 3D modeling, animation and rendering application that is available in “4 Flavors” – motion graphics artists, architects, designers and 3D animators.
It’s widely used in the film industry and helped to create animations in movies like Iron Man and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. You can check out more impressive work made in C4D here.

Shows you pictures of designs but you can't make anything. You can look at the pictures on it and that's it. There is no way to design anything. Do not install this app if you want to actually design anything.
when i go on, there are just picturs of other 3D modles, and when i click on one of the pictures, then it just shows me the pictures, and i cant even edit it! so i would give it a one star.
If I could give 0/5 I would. It isn't a 3d viewer or anything, just a slide show of screenshots of mediocre 3d models.
I agree, an advise to this app; don't write what you don't do . please don't download. I didn't want to rate it but I need to inform others. Just check why it has 1.4 star rating . Please don't be angry but you wrote " best modeling software for beginners but it was all pictures". Please you may get more rating if you wrote what the app is really for. Please don't be mad I am just saying the truth.
SOOO BAD you cant even model on it and I'm a new phone so it's not my device and the shapes that you do get are so infinitesimal and it's just a plane old bad app so dont Install it.
NOT MODELING SOFTWARE AT ALL. Seems a to be a collection of uncataloged 3d models that don't even seem to be accessible
Its just a bunch of pictures. I wanted to DESIGN something. Do you even know what DESIGN apps are suppsed to do? Apparently, YOU must've gone to "special school".
What is this you are making us fool , items shown in picture are just pictures we cant create anything . Its worst app maker conpany and a worst app
This is not a animation app it is only pictures of half made animation props.
How can this be the best if I'm looking at only pictures of models and not making them. My bad I didn't look at the reviews.
This app is a waste of time, just a bunct of pictures. It deserves no star.
Trash garbage all it is is just models of others you can't even bulid your own and those pics are probably not even from this dogshit app DONT DOWNLOAD. This is trash I hope this gets taken down.
Worst app ever it just shows images when you open the app
This app is just filled with pictures of modeled work its useless
Do you just look at 3d models or are you actually allowed to 3d model bc if I'm right this is not a good app
its not even a modeling appand imtrying to make a mod!
not a modeling app just a collection of pictures of 3D models
It is not 3d modeling software but 3d model gallery.
Just a collection of images, Don't download!
i tried but it did not work. i'm going to save you hours of your time DON'T DOWNLOAD
This app isn't even a modeling app...this is an awful app
DONT DOWNLOAD ITS NOT A SOFTWARE IT'S JUST PHOTOS

I wanted to give it 0 because I saw only image instead of what I thought.
All it did was show me pictures. Do not download
Its just random pictures
I think its showing peices of model or how to make epic models
"Best 3D Modeling Software"?I Cant Even Make A Model
I clicked the app. And I saw a lot of images of people edits, do I thought it was just showing me. How to use it, but instead there was nothing at the bottom. So I clicked an I me image and nothing showed up. It's a waste of time. DONT NOT DOWNLOAD
