I don't know too much of 3D design but I think Blender seems fairly good. http://www.blender.org/

I use Autodesk Autocad 2006 and Autodesk 3D Studio Max 7, mostly for 3D renderings of buildings (I'm an architecture student). But these are pretty heavy programs.

Not exactly the most cost-friendly options either :o

Maya or die-a.

If you plan on paying, go Maya. if you are cheapskate, go Blender.

Blender can actually do quite a lot It's just very different from the other 3d programs. It is most definitely the best free 3d program
