Need help with 3d modeling in opengl

Hi, I need a 3d modeling program which would help me build objects which I could then use in my opengl code.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a program that a beginner could use and how to import an object from that program into my opengl code?
Thanks!

Cluchess just posted a link (in the advanced section) to some code and .dll that does just that with .3ds files. I know there are others as well, but this was the most recent that I've seen.

Milk shape is a good 3D-program, it free for 30days and you can by it for $20 i think.

Its very simple and you will learn quick, there is alot of tutorials for milk shape out on the net.
