3d max will work, but it can have a large learning curve if youre not use to higher end 3d apps, dunno if that bothers you or not, and yeah the price is super high, also it does seem to be the industry standard for the gaming industry right now
I use Truespace myself, its cheap and works for what I want to do, I wouldnt really recommend animating a whole real-time character in it, it can be sorta a pain with bones, but it wouldnt be impossible
other 3d apps you might want to look into: Lightwave, Softimage or Maya, and I would say Rhino 3d but I think that still only supports nurbs, but I could be wrong on that one, also another app you might want to check out is called Wings3d, its a really simple, free modeler, no real rendering or texturing but might be useful with something like this"Shivers running down my spine,
whos blood? I know its mine.

SorryOn demand this signature has been changed. I hope nobody was insulted or got harmed due to my signature. If this is the case, I'm fully responsible for the harm that was done. Do you feel harmed or you simply want a listening ear?

I have 3dmax and all I ever seem to end up with is loads of dancing teapots running across my screen.
I too have a horrible computer at the moment(infact graphically Thievery is about the best game I can get away with on this thing-along with other Unreal1 powered games)-if I try to do anything too complicated in 3dmax its freezes and crashes all the way.
I think I have a trial version or something of maya-but I have no chance of getting it to work on this clapped out peice of junk til I get my new super-human Uber-AI busting pooter soonish(hopefully)

Assuming that you can't afford Maya -- which does have a helluva learning curve, I'm still not very good at it -- Cinema 4D is a nice option. I've not had a chance to play around with Lightwave much, but I've heard it's fairly similar.
Maya PLE, their academic crippled and free version, isn't missing any critical features. Since I have access to 4.5Unlimited I haven't tried it, but I've heard good things about it.
I've been using Maya and C4D on my 350Mhz G4, and it's fairly slow, so I'd expect your pentium to be totally owned. On the flipside, I've also used a rack of 1U dedicated rendering machines, and rendering can still be slow. That's just the way it is. ^_^Nearly all men can stand adversity -- if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.

Regarding that trial version of Maya, how much RAM is needed to run it. I have 512mb ram, and often about 400 of it free, but it said there wasnt enough free memory to run it X_X*Leader of the 56k rebellion*
