'''Blender''' is an open source (free) 3D modeling package that can be used to create [[prop_static|static]] and [[prop_physics|physics props]]. Although [[XSI]] is the Valve-recommended program for modeling, some will find Blender to have an easier learning curve. The free version of XSI for Source modeling has some limitations and watermark images.
