3D Animation and Modeling in Mac OS X

[captain.joco]

Hey everybody.

Around 2 years ago, I did a lot of 3D animation & modeling, using 3DS Max windows at the time. Then I took a brake from it, and computers in general ( kinda funny ), and bought a macbook couple of months ago. ( Now I'm never going back to windows lol ). Anyway, I was wondering what kinda pro 3D animation & modeling apps are avaliable for Mac OS X ( and that run natively ). I've heared that 3DS Max can be used only trough BootCamp, and I don't want that. Can anyone suggest any pro alternative?

Thanx in advance,
Joco.

Cinema4D is particularly good

Well Blender is fairly pro but more importantly, free and native on all platforms.
