I personally use cinema 4D for rendering my 3D models. It may not be free like wings and blender and it may not me the best tool for modeling with, but it does a gorgeous job at rendering. In fact what me and my friend used to do was model in wings and then import them into cinema 4D to texture and render them.

There is no good 3D / Animation suite but whats important is which one would suits you and you are comfortable with the workflow. Personally i used Maya for years and recently i switch to Softimage XSI after the announcement of the version 7 since the workflow in XSI suits me more than Maya. Animation wise, i did say stick with 3DS Max. There is no good community based support that is parred with 3DS Max, this means, if you need guides, tutorials or questions, virtually all existing 3D community sites cater 3DS Max. In rendering, all major suites come with Mental Ray engine except for C4D, Lightwave, Blender..etc but in 3DS max, you have the option to between Mental Ray and some other 3rd party renderer like vRay. My advice is stick with what you have, ONLY change to other suites if you feel uncomfortable with the current.

Does anyone know of any other good software to use for 3D animation? Get Blender3D, its probably the best free 3D graphics program out there. It has good video tutorials as well. It supports many types of exports, e.g.wavefront, .3ds

Probably 3ds MAx. Although very pricey , it produces incredible results and it would take a lot to sway me from it

Wings3D isnt more than just a modeler application. It is more like Silo and Modo that focus on enhancing modeling tools. Wings3D is actually written with the inspiration of Mirai, a now defunct 3D package that once used in many console games development due to its flexible development pipeline and solid good modeling features. Blender is making some noises in the 3D industry. Recently with the FX house i work with, they are using Blender for pre-visualization. With new authors writing books on Blender, i would say in a few years time, Blender will find its role in the 3D/film industry.
