Carrara

Now you can enjoy figure posing, modeling, landscape design, rigid and soft-body dynamics, animation and rendering all within a single application at an affordable price.
Carrara will allow you to add an entire new dimension to your 3D art or animations.
Carrara offers a complete 3D graphic development environment in one package, allowing you to create a scene, model objects that populate it, and create environmental effects. You can then animate the results if desired and, finally, render the resulting scene, using one application..
Carrara can also be an invaluable tool for interactive multimedia. It supports low-polygon modeling and popular formats such as GIF, JPEG, OBJ, 3DS, AVI, QuickTime, and sequenced movies.System requirementsPentium 4 or greater
