Blender is a open source 3D content creation suite available for all major operating systems under the GNU General Public License and available for free. [1] Many FlightGear developers use Blender, and there are a lot of articles on the FlightGear Wiki about using it.
Note: An importer/exporter for FlightGear's most common 3D format (AC3D, .ac) is only included in Blender version 2.49b or older. For later versions you have to install it manually. See the dedicated Blender AC3D import and export wiki page for more information.
