Does any one here know where I can find a free program that I can make 3-d model on it. It would also be nice if I could add animation to it. Does any one here know where I can find a program like this?

Try Anim8or. Be warned - it's not easy.

Blender is supposed to be good, though I've never taken the time to figure it out.

I've never had the patience to try any form of 3D modeling.  I barely have the patience to make a low-quality sprite.

Well, I use Blender. And.... it's pretty nice. I still haven't found out how to make animations (Or a lot for that matter; but that's because my computer doesn't have internet)
I really don't care much for logic.

Could be using a library or school computer, or perhaps even his Wii (if he has one, of course).

The third one is right, I use my Wii. But... within a few weeks, I might have my own internet! It's still a big maybe, though...

Ahhh, yeah, about that... I'm still a newb to the program. My best advice is to go to Blender's official site and checkout the video and text tutorials. If that's not enough; go to  Blender Artist for amazing tutorials. They also have amazing art I never thought Blender was capable of! (That's why I mostly go there, though I still don't have an account)

O.k., that's mostly done using the right mouse button. To select an object (Or the camera) right click it, now it will be highlighted with pink outlines. Then click and hold the right (Or left, I forget which, I haven't been on my computer in a while) mouse button anywhere in the 3-D space window and draw a line. You should be able to move the object by moving your cursor. Simply click to let go. Draw a circle to rotate the object. And if you want to move in one direction specificly, right click and hold one of the arrows and it will only move in that direction. As for changing objects, do you mean adding more objects, like a sphere or something? If it's that, have your cursor in the 3-D space window and press the space bar. A menu will pop-up, additional objects, cameras, lights can be found there. Once you find what you need, left click it and a more specific menu will pop-up with options for the object before its put in. One thing you'll have to remember about Blender, is that to use it successfully, you must learn the keyboard shortcuts. It can make things a lot quicker.

Edit: I'll add more info later.

Yeah, but when you draw a line, you do it with your left mouse button. I kinda got that one mixed up.

If your Wii is able to access the internet, what's stopping you from connecting your computer to that same router?

Well... they're in opposites places. I have my Wii upstairs, and my computers downstairs. Plus, my Wii barley reaches the signal, usually only 1 bar. And it's in a spot my computer can't be in. Despite only having one bar of signal, my internet and WIFI play work pretty well. Although Brawl usually has some lag.
