Zbrush eh? I'll look into it.

Yup!

There are some quirks with it.

Save often. Prepare for frustrations in the first 20 hours of use before you feel comfy enough to use it! :C .. But I think it'll end up being worth it.

There are other programs for other options but I haven't been on recently enough to really know what's up with the general workflows of SL.

Maya is always supported.

Certain programs like MoI are great for simple objects and I think it's actually improved its features enough that it's a great editor for SL, too.

I like Zbrush a lot because it supports a feature called polypainting, it feels organic with its tools, and polypainting, coming back to that, is great since you color your texture directly onto your completed Ztool (the name given for 3D editable objects.. well that's actually a "polymesh" but.. Ztools are the save files for 3D objects in Zbrush! .. Save as Ztool, not as Document!).

I tried Wings3D, and I don't know if its just my computer or the program itself but its so SLOW. ;_;

Zbrush is expensive though and I don't know if I can justify spending 600 on something I'm only doing for fun... but then again there's always Pirate Bay. :]
