  Blender is one of the best open source 3D graphics programs there is. It is a very active project and has more features than you might expect. It is highly usable and can produce stunning stills, animations and effects. This page is here to help those who are new to Blender or 3D graphics in general. Remember, if you do not succeed at first, keep trying, even if it seems hard. If you give up, you will probably never become proficient.
