Model file formats

I''m looking for a good file format for the 3D models that I''m going to load into my game. I find most graphical 3D modeling applications to be incredibly awkward, so I''d like a format there I can just enter vertex and texture coordinates into a text editor and then run a utility to "compile" it into the model format. However, I want my game to be easily moddable, so I''l also like the files to either be editable from a mainstream commercial 3D modeling program or to be easily convertable from a file format used by a mainstream commercial 3D modeling program. I''d also like something that I could use without paying royalties or liscense fees, both for the format itself and for the utility I''d use to create my files. Any suggestions?

Drooling Iguana : ASE is definitly what you want. Pop open 3DS Max, create a box, add a UVW map to it, assign it a material with a texture, export it as an ASE, and then you can just pour through the file format yourself.

Unfortunately, I don''t have 3DS Max. Are there any other free/cheap modellers that use this file format?
