Fusion 360

Fusion 360 has built-in capabilities to do 3D modeling, sheet-metal, simulation and documentation. It can manage manufacturing processes such as machining, milling, turning and additive manufacturing. It also has electronic design automation (EDA) features, such as schematic design, PCB design and component management. You can use it also for rendering, animation, generative design and a number of advanced simulation tasks (FEA).

Houdini

"SideFX's Houdini is responsible for creating a range of 3D imagery across the CG industry. Its node-based procedural approach offers artists unprecedented power, flexibility and control. This nodal workflow isn’t for everyone, but Houdini also has some more traditional tools which allow you to directly interact with the polygons on screen."

Maya

"Autodesk Maya will bag the top spot in most artists' ranking of the best 3D modelling software. The industry standard for an array of CG disciplines, Maya offers artists an unrivalled set of features and tools. This powerful app isn't for beginners, however, its toolset is complex and takes time to master."

"Maya is ideal for modelling, texturing, lighting and rendering – its vast features include tools for particles, hair, solid body physics, cloth, fluid simulations and character animation."
