Easiest 3D modeling software for a newbie?

You just fix it in the import settings of Unity, before you even drop the model in the scene.

SketchUp is very simple for modelling compared to Blender but that has advantages and disadvantages. Easy to learn and use but very easy to be sloppy and make mistakes (like not sealing geometry properly and not seeing reversed faces without actively hunting for them). It lacks a lot of features you'll want later in your pipeline, like UV mapping, so whilst it's a good place to prototype models you'll still need to put in some work in something like Blender and then Unity.

Years ago when modeling i used:

- Sketchup only for modeling (so much faster then blender, so much easier)

- Mapping (UV unwrapping) and optimizing in Blender

Blender is a really powerful tool, but quite confusing for starters, i never found it easy to model in it, not compared to Sketchup.

I learned the absolute basics in sketchup (by bac9's amazing tutorial) then moved to blender.
