It's called blender, it can be found here:
Blender Download Page

It's free, and it is only 1.5 MB, or so... My question is can it be used to edit animations? I can't seem to wrap my head around it. If you thought Meta was hard... You're in for an awakening!

Yeah, I didn't either - some people said they thought so...

I can't find any good blender tutorials online; although there are hundreds of places to download stuff that's been made with it. Some guy said it was a competitor with maya 3d (final fantasy movie), simply because the results are similar, for a millionth of the cost.

Darned if I can get the stupid metaball to texture, though...

I looked at this program and read all the documentation they had for it (it wasn't much). It didn't sound like it is at all compatible with TRLE. But it might be a fun program to play with.
