LinearMAX
A downloadable Modeling Software for Windows
LinearMAX is a lightweight 3D modeling and rendering software for windows platforms. In LinearMAX you can create custom 3D models and render them in beautiful detail in a custom ray tracing shader with a material customizable by the player, and save each model as a Wavefront or .obj file.
-----------------------------------------------------
A perfect fit for beginners, looking to understand the basics behind 3D modeling with out the overwhelming complexity of Blender or Maya.

Modeling -
The modeling system is an intuitive and fast solution to 3D models. A free moving vertex system allows for the fast editing of a mesh, which can then be automatically triangulated instantly.
Rendering -
The rendering system uses a custom ray tracer which can handle models with thousands of polygons. The user has the ability to customize any mesh material to his liking by modifying a variety of settings.

Instructions -
Please read the very short User Manual before using the software. (Do not use illegal characters when naming the saved models file or it will not save).

At the very least you should put up a video showing what using LinearMAX to make something looks like.
Impressive.
A beautiful and easy way for beginners to learn and apply rendering techniques. Thanks Matt Ager!
