POV-Ray
POV-Ray (Persistence of Vision Raytracer) is a high-quality, totally free tool for creating stunning three-dimensional graphics. It is available in official versions for Windows, Mac OS/Mac OS X and i86 Linux. The source code is available for those wanting to do their own ports. With its unique scripting approach and through a large base of available texture, pigment, and material functions there are almost unlimited possibilities to creating any kind of graphics.
A terragen clone for POV-Ray can be found here: Project Tierra

NURBS++
Art of Illusion
"free, open source 3D modelling and rendering studio." Easy to learn. Its main strength is in the procedural side (generated objects, boolean modelling, procedural textures and materials), so it's most useful for creating primary models and converting them into tri- or quad- meshes or making effect animations. Conversely, least useful for editing meshes. If you want to do it anyway, backup the source OBJ and check the result, you may need to change rounding value.
- Homepage: http://www.artofillusion.org/
- SourceForge: Project Info: http://aoi.sourceforge.net/
- Community: http://www.artofillusion.org/forums
- License: GNU-GPL
- Operating system: "Java Virtual Machine (cross-platform, including Windows, Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X)."
- Extras: Well-tagged plugin repository (http://aoisp.sourceforge.net/) accessible from "Script and Plugin Manager" in menu.
Addons and helper applications
Crafter
"The visual, procedural and structural way to create complex materials."
G3DViewer
Lightweight 3D viewer. Allows to preview models in many formats, usually much faster than loading or importing them into modeler.
- Homepage: http://automagically.de/g3dviewer/
- License: GNU-GPL
- Operating system: POSIX. Present in some Linux package repositories.
MakeHuman
"...software for the modelling of 3-Dimensional humanoid characters. Features [...] highly intuitive GUI and a high quality mesh, optimized to work in subdivision surface mode (for example, Zbrush). Using MakeHuman, a photorealistic character can be modeled in less than 2 minutes"
- Homepage: http://www.makehuman.org/ (has extensive documentation section)
- License: GNU AGPL (code) / special (MakeHuman mesh) / CC0 (content derived from its data)
- Operating systems: "32-bit and 64-bit for Windows, Linux, and Mac (Intel & PPC)"
- Extras: MakeTarget -- "a new development tool to create morph targets libraries for MakeHuman".
Ready 3D models
Akebulan.com
Free Low Poly Models (512k or less)
Models Bank
"Free 3D models"
Free 3D Models & Petr Sinta Portfolio
"offering FREE CG resources..."
- Link: http://www.stx3dx.com/
Turbo Squid
"3D Models, Plugins, Textures, and more at Turbo Squid", including free
NOCTUA Graphics

CGTextures
"strives to be the worlds best texture site". Free, but download is limited (see About).
- Link: http://cgtextures.com/
Blendswap.com
Blender-specific, obviously. A lot of models, many CC-zero licensed.
