Blender is a modeling/rendering tool. It is not Maya. It is free. It works on Mac and PC. It is Open Source – So, that’s a good thing. It can do some incredible animation and renderings (Elephants Dreams). It’s easy to get started – A very nice 118 pgs pdf that covers most of the features in Blender, including the Game Engine is available.
