thanks hermit :V
yeah there are lot's of programs, free and not for free, just pick the one that suits you best :)
for example first time i tried out maya , i found the interface confusing. second i tried 3ds max, also confusing but less then maya, then i tried blender and it was VEERY confusing to me :P
then i got back to 3ds max and did some tutorials, now its pretty easy, i think you just have to spends some time learning the interfaces.
