Blender 3D is a powerful and free tool for 3D model creation. It was
originally made as a professional proprietary tool for a design studio
and then later released as freeware. It has a large active user and
developer community. It can export to VRML 2 and OBJ formats, both of
which can be imported to Croquet with packages that are available on
Squeakmap. It can also export BVH format, which is a "bones"
representation of object animation, which recent updates for Jasmine
Croquet can import. It is a very powerful and useful tool.
All that being said, I don't much like the Blender GUI, as it is not
at all friendly for the casual user. Some Blender documents describe
the GUI as being workflow-oriented for the professional designer. It
has a large learning curve.
I still use Blender because of its power and ease of moving content to
Croquet, but I would really prefer to use a more friendly tool.
