I'm not sure if all those programs have demo-versions, but if they do, I'd suggest you try those. Possibly older (and free) versions as well.

Some ppeople prefer Max, some Lightwave (to name two of the expensive ones) and it's really hard to tell which one fits YOUR workflow.

Personally, Max is the only program I've been able to figure out, and I've tried a lot of different ones over time, but I know many people who find it totally illogical.

I've heard good things about Hexagon (never tried it though) and Carrara should be easy to start with (except that I couldn't figure that one out either :lol:)
