In response to shadyi, Maya is probably THE program right now but it's not going to run on a lot of home PCs. See: Maya Qualifications.

I've only used 3DS Max 7, and even then only barely. At some stage I really want to do some serious animating, but I do like the software.

I really like Maya 6.5 and 7. Too bad I can't get Turtle 2 to work with Maya 7. 3DS Max 8 is ok with Brazil but I don't really like it. ZBrush is awesome for making normal, bump and displacement maps.
