SketchUp - 3D design fun
I recently came across a 3D design product called SketchUp. It was recently bought by Google, probably in some part due to the Google Earth plug-in which allows you to export your models.
You really should download the trial version and just play about with the modelling tools for a while, the push/pull tool feels so naturally - and even though it is similar to how 3DS Max, etc. work, I was able to follow the tutorials easily and produce some cool results.
One of the most fun, natural to use applications I have seen in a long while.
