3d: Blender or XSI. I think the most of us use XSI.
texture: Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Paint.net, Gimb

If you're asking about models for SWBF2, then XSI would be your best bet. Otherwise go for something like Maya or 3DS Max (or both!).

And about the texturing, well, you'll have to work on that. Not everything is that easy.

I have 3ds max,it's just only good for vehicles...for me,I guess if you all think I must do textures manually,someone has a tutorial abut it?
