AaronG,
Greetings. Yes, Metasequoia really is a super program. Direct link:

Don't forget to pickup Cyberdelia 4.6, as well. Here's a link:

Cyberdelia is a basic animation program that lets you animate models created within Metasequoia. Not fancy; no bones, but it does allow you to create basic animation, for props. You can export them directly to .x format, too.
Hope this helps in your future endeavors.
Thanks,
Seth Black
