Blender 3D
Blender is a sterling example
of what can be done within the GNU free software movement.
It doesn't have to hang its animated head in the presence of
any commercial animation programs. The work it turns out is
vividly detailed--check out the screenshots--and movements
are convincingly smooth. It is frequently used to build
developers to build complex avatars and environments on
sites likeIMVU.com, a 3D chat system.
The reason is pretty simple:
Blender has all the features you need to produce interactive
3D graphics and games that are compatible across platforms.
Its suite of features allows modeling, rendering and
postproduction polishing.

SketchUp 
Google
SketchUp is software that you can use to create, modify and
share 3D models. It's easier to learn than other 3D modeling
programs, which is why so many people are already using it.
We designed SketchUp's
simplified toolset, guided drawing system and clean
look-and-feel to help you concentrate on two things: getting
your work done as efficiently as possible, and having fun
while you're doing it.
