I'd agree with pauljs75, Wings and Bryce will take you a long way for about $100. Of course you could wait for DAZ Studio to be released, the base version will be free and should be a pretty good renderer, no idea when it's coming though. If you insist on an all in one package go for one of the big names mentioned above (I like Lightwave) it's gonna cost you though! Cinema base version is about $500 up to the full version of Maya/Softimage XSI something like $6000! Baz
