check out the
Freelancer 3D Modeling and Texturing Forum for more suggestions, but I'll tell you right now, you will need
Milkshape 3D to do the final conversion for use with FL. It's shareware, but it leaves a tracer on your hard drive, so you can't just uninstall/reinstall when the trial period is over.
Another modeling program that I've used is
GMax (by the same folks that brought you 3D Studio Max). It's free, but they do ask you to register.
To do the exporting, you'll need to find the relevant files, all of which are here in the downloads section. I think there are a few posts with links to them in the modeling forum linked above.
