I think 3ds Max is the best for making 3D pictures.
For high end animation,Maya suits best.
Blender is one which is inexpensive,which also gives the same output as that of those these expensive softwares.
The one thing u need more is "creative skill"..

blender is too complex IMHO

Well i think 3D Studio Max is the best .....try to learn this software...

Well, Thank you all, I have learned a lot in 3D Max, However I did not find a book teaches the 3D Max Script, Anyway thank you all for your help.

Xsi and 3ds max 9.0 are simply amasing. I have both and all the tutorials you'll need for games or what ever. the_rpg_gamemaster@yahoo.com Feel free to reply just remind me about this email.

If you are any good at Python than I would recommend Blender. I have been using Blender for the past two years and really like the program. I would have to agree with the others that it comes down to what you've invested your time in. Which ever program you do use, you will at least pick up on the general aspects of 3D design (Meshes, Curves, Particles, Animation, Softbody, UVMapping, Textures, etc...).

can i beg with dat software?

You probably could, but I would prefer a cup or a hat, it keeps the coins in.

I have always used blender and find it very proffesional and produces great results. It will (like anything) take a bit to learn but once you do it really pays off. And best of all its 100% FREE!

Hope this helps!
