I use Lightwave myself as it is far cheaper than 3DS max or Maya and does pretty much everything those packages can do even some things they don't sadly I am just a hobbyist not a pro and like most hobbyists self taught but for a free 3D package Blender would be my recommendation as there are lots of you-tube video tutorials for learning blender. I was just having a look around the net for the old " pirates of the burning seas " forums as they had a great forum there with lots of resources for 3D ship modeling IE plans and threads on building tips but I can not seem to find it :/ Still that aside I am looking forward enormously to the release of this game " Naval Action " from what I have seen on you tube so far it looks like it will be truly awesome.
