I stumbled upon this 3d program I really like called cheetah3d. Selling for only $129, this Mac-only 3D modeling, rendering and animation program is clean and mean with a great, easy to use interface. Just clearing out the features you hardly use is a feature in itself. Really nice. It's got me rendering a spaceship taking off at this very moment. Plus, this thing is full of features—IK, F-curves, radiosity, you name it. The one problem for me is that there's no motion blur. I wrote the program's author and he said that's high on the to-do list. For the kind of stuff I do—a couple of 3D animations here and there output with alpha channels, this promises to be a nice package.
The program reminds me a bit of soniccharge microtonic. Like cheetah, sonic charge is essentially a one-man operation. Their one product--microtonic--is an inexpensive, quality software drum synth with a definite electronic vibe.
