Thankyou everyone! Some of that Carrara work looks great, maybe I'll go for that then... I'll ask some more questions in Carrara specific places before I decide though. I must say, Cinema 4D looks to be my favourite, but it's sssooooo pricey! I mean, a little pee came out when I saw the three grand tag swinging on it. WOW! I guess it must be worth it though, right? O.O Maybe some day... Just after I drop the deposit on my Pagani Zonda, lol!

I'm looking at Messiah too. I mean, if I'd need to re-rig my characters then I wouldn't use it for character animating, but I guess I could composite animations onto each other or something, from various different applications. We'll see; I don't really have a set workflow for the animation itself yet, so I'm open to ideas.

Thanks again to everyone for your replies, much appreciated!
