Help wanted to identify 3D animation software

OK people, I’m seeking some recommendations on 3D animation software, for use with LINUX (forget Whinedoze) that’ll work on a 64 bit system. I don’t care if I have to pay for it, as long as it works.

Please tell me of the programs that you know about and recommend, also if you know something is garbage – then I can avoid it. :p

Yes I placed it here and not Q&A, because I figure they’re are several answers, not a single specific answer
