3d Model editor/viewer

I would like to try my hand at a simple 3d model editor/viewer with UI designed for a Rift. I'm a programmer, but have not developed with any game/3d engines before. Would anyone recommend a set of tools or engine that works well with the Rift but also handles dynamic vertex/model editing? Is this something that UDK or CryEngine can do? I'm not really intending to sell this, so shelling out for a Unity Pro license is out of the question. I'm no stranger to C++ but the more tools that are already written for me the better.

Thanks!

    There's nothing I know of that will do this out of the box. Probably the best idea is taking an open-source 3D engine that has Rift support and trying to add in your model viewing tools. Torque or OGRE would probably work for this purpose. However, you will need to have some C++ skills to do this.
