Blender is the first and only fully integrated 3D graphics creation suite enabling modelling, animation, rendering, post-production, real-time interactive 3D and game creation and playback with cross-platform compatibility - all in one tidy, easily and free downloadable package (It says here). The list of features is extensive; if a serious 3D package should be able to do it, then Blender probably can.

Blender is controlled by the independent, non-profit organisation Blender Foundation and is an open source project. The program is in a constant state of development and has a large and faithful following.

The website has loads of information and help. If you want 3D software then you don’t have to pay a fortune for a commercial package, Blender is free and can probably do the job.
