Whoa. Best can cost big bucks.

And the range is huge as to what 3D we can pick from. From realism to anime.

You can look on google.com for "best 3d software" to get an idea of the scope of software out there.

Try narrowing the focus down to help find your best solution.

I know this is a very late response, but it might still be helpful for other readers.

I would recommend Zaxwerks ProAnimator because it is extremely easy to use, and there is a very slight learning curve. You can model, animate, and render all of your project right inside ProAnimator, and it has a ton of presets to help you get started. Especially if this is for something simple as a daughters project and you don't want to waste a lot of time learning a huge 3D program, then ProAnimator is perfect for you.

I see you dug up 2 posts to call out Zaxwerks.

One more to an old post and all will be gone as spam.
