Well... the ultimate is 3d studio max, but as thatis usually thousands of dollars, I don't think that's what you're looking for.... try truespace or lightwave I think.... bryce is also okay.

well i guess if ya wanna get a free one, you should go for pov-ray. Mind ya it uses raytracing...a more realistic rendering method and of course a lot slower than others like studio max. www.povray.org

I'm not sure of POV-Ray can be considered a modeller, since you have to write the input file by hand. But, yeah, POV-Ray is excellent. I've made some amazing things with that.

But 3ds can do ray tracing as well...

There are some reasonably good modellers for POVRay, like Moray for instance. It's POVRay, visually! :-)

i know this is kind of a late entry...
depending on what you are planning to do, like if you are going to do character modelling AND animation, then poser is a nice choice, although there isnt alot of actually modelling involved. bryce 5 is alright if you were planning on doing landscapes, and also has animation capabilities. and as gian said, 3d studio max is the best, but it all depends on how much you want to spend... hope this helps
