Cheapest 3D Modeling Program?

[Yarnchu]

So here's the deal: I want to try out 3D modeling, but I can't really afford anything too expensive. I also know that these things don't come cheap, and that no matter what I get the price is going to be way up there. Whether or not it is good for such things doesn't matter, since for what I want to do I only need some basic modeling and texture. So, any help?

SketchUp?

Doesn't get any cheaper than free.

I've been meaning to try it out myself, just to fiddle around with a few things, although as of yet I haven't had the time.

Or that SketchUp thing, I guess. I'd never heard of it before, but yeah.

Hmm...sounds interesting. I'll add it to favorites for me to check out later.
