Try milkshape. It is as easy as creating vertice which is point and click easy. Then you create 2 more to make an even 3 which is the amount needed to make a face. So basically you make faces. here are a few links for more info.

i dont use milkshape. i tried it but the time ran out so i couldnt save and didnt care for it very much but it was easy to use and if some of the others show you their pictures of the stuff they made then you could see what its capable of.

Milkshape has a 30 day free trial after which it wont let you save. You can register Milkshape for 30 or 25 dollars US i think. If you want to go cheap GMax is free, but its about 412 thousand times more complicated than Milkshape. Wings3d is also free but you'll need a seperate program to animate your models. I think Milkshape is more than worth 30 bucks...but I still havn't paid it.
