I need a free 3D software, which is possible to have forever, and which you can import the things you make into Flash with. Any suggestions?

Swift 3D imports into Flash. And I think 3D Studio Max does as well.
Blender is the only free one I know of but doesn't import into Flash.

I suggest you master 2D before attempting 3D
Besides your 3D things will look much better, practice easing and drawing.

Spazz: Thanks for those, I'm having some problems with Swift 3D so I'll try Studio 3D Max.
James: Thanks for the tips.

you dont have to master 2d, you can just go ahead an learn 3d, because its way different then 2d, you dont use your pencil to draw, you model something.
there's also anim8or. its like 1 mb and free. but if you want quality stuff i'd dowload blender for free.
edit: yes you could try 3d's max, imo its the easiest quality modeling program to learn. if you need help add me on my msn ;) glennh1991 AT hotmail DOT com it's not free tho :)

A very good free 3d modeller would be Blender.
It has been used professionally in movies, like Spiderman 3.

My bad, Spiderman 2.
And yes, it was used for Storyboarding and pre animatics.
Here is a comparison of the top 3-D programs today. You'll see that Blender is indeed a force to be reckoned with.

There's a free student's version of Maya. Not sure if it imports into flash though.

It also displays an annoying watermark if you render anything.
Plus, it's not a student version. It's a trial version.
There's also a trial of Cinema 4d, but it won't let you render anything.
