Wing3d, FreeCAD, OpenFX, Meshlab, topmod, ... all the software listed in the previous post can save in .obj format... Remember, we speak about open source software and it is normal that one of the first format supported is the .obj format who is open... Hope that Tobi forgive me for the few unrelated post... after all, if boshimi find the right software for him, it can only be beneficial for the mod...
