Alibre Express

It hasn't got all the nifty features that the full version does, but this is a great piece of software for the price! (free)

I've no idea if you can export to XSI or other HL compatible software, but it's a cool bit of freeware whatever the case.

Some people are like slinkys...

They aren?t really good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one tumbles down the stairs.

Splines... even if you'd manage to import those into a modeling program
that has HL2 .smd export, you'd be in a world of pain when you first
have to convert the splines into meshes and then revomove thousands of
useless polygons and in the end you just with you'd just used the
pictures provided by the program as a blueprint and done the whole job
in the modeling program.

Useful for easy visualization, but not for game modeling. Intresting find nevertheless.
