So I have been using Blender 3D for objects like weapons, bullets, objects etc. and has been working fairly well. But I find it extremely hard to make levels in. So what I like to know is whether or not there is a 3D modeler with level building as it’s sole-purpose or just easy to make levels in.(I know worded very well right :P) also I have two problems(There big ones I know.)it has to be free, and I SUCK at modeling so it would probably have to be very user-friendly.I would also like to know what you use for making levels. well that’s all.I thank you for your input!

If you've never learned Maya, Blender is great. And if you suck at modeling, you suck at modeling; and no user-friendly software will help that. Only practice.

I’m fairly certain that’s all Unity is. A level builder.

Well, you know, not technically, but that's what it does.

I don't really want to use cubes for my game.

Then you will have to make some models in your preferred modeling tool, and Blender is one of the few free ones out there. Or you can buy them from people.

Perhaps you didn't understand, I want to make the whole map in the application not just objects.

Bender has a learning curve. its easiest to learn all the hotkeys first rather than going through the program and clicking buttons hoping to find the one you need. And Free! 3dsMAX is easy, Straight forward and Expensive. These 2 are pretty much main stream Level Design when is come to building with unity.

Sorry but I have a non-free (yet cheap) alternative, only for Mac OS X.

Cheetah 3D - Mac OS X - $99 as far as I recall.

I went from knowing nothing about 3D modelling, to making almost professional looking models with just a few free tutorial videos and about a week of learning and making all the models.

I hope that helps, good luck.
