I am getting better in unity game engine but the meshes i use are always standard meshes or ugly made with cubes and spheres. So i am looking for a easy to use for beginners 3d modeling and animating program that doesn't take weeks to learn how to use it. Blender is way to complicated and google sketch-up is not that good for making trees and crates and rocks but only for architecture. Cheetah 3d looks very user friendly but it's only for MAC. I know i can get the student version of 3ds max or maya but then i have to log in on the website and every time i do that i just get a blank screen. Even if i go to another computer.
