Currently looking into 3D modelling & rendering software, Blender.
Popular 'industry' IDEs include 3D-Studo-Max (3DS-MAX) and Maya. They're big and expensive so most hobbyists or enthusiasts can't make use of it without piracy.
For now I'll be sticking to the free Blender software. Good for learning the fundamentals and perfectly legal should I ever intend to submit work for academic purposes or publish.
Other useful free software includes Sculptris, made by the makers of ZBrush.
Also free is the Unreal Development Kit (or UDK) now available courtesy of the dev studio. May come in very useful later.
