For your basics you can use something like MilkShape (free for 30 days then exceptionally cheap) or Blender which used to be quite hard to learn but has become a whole lot easier in the last year or so- blender may not export direct to MD3 but you can find a middle ground or export to another format that there are loaders for quite easily.
