Don't forget that for 3-D modeling there is BRL-CAD which is fairly 
mature.  http://brlcad.org/

Here are some examples made by someone we used to see on the lists here.

The problem I hit with BRL-CAD was it had a horribly written build 
system.  It was a shining example of how *not* to use autoconf.  I got 
so frustrated by that I stopped playing around with the tool, but that 
was 4 or 5 years ago and I see there have been releases since then.
