3D modeling Anonymous
Recommend me a 3D modeling program that's compatible with Pepakura Designer. NOT SKETCHUP.

Someone with some modeling knowledge should write a small section about Pepakura Designer on the /po/wiki.

Blender and Metasequoia are both free. The MQO format is directly compatible with Pepakura, and Blender can export as LWO, 3DS, or OBJ, all three of which work in Pepakura.

Cinema4D - Great powerful app with extremely easy to use interface

the majority of 3d modeling apps (i'd say like 80% or more) will export to formats that pepakura can read.

That being said, 3dmax, maya, xsi, or lightwave are some of the most common ones.
I recommend 3dmax if you're new to modeling, purely because the amount of free tutorials n whatnot is epic in comparison to other modeling apps.
