surfaces, 3d art and other utopias

[baar8n]

Good morning, gentlemen.

I am looking for software to do 3d art (robot). I'm taccagno and I'm trying the free blender. Some things make me shiver, others dream.
are designer and modeler 3d automotive / sports equipment, I used automotive alias for 2 years, catia v5 solid / gsd / freeform for 5 years full-time (my current software), as well as modeling with solidworks, cinema 4d, rhino at the convenience.
arrival to the sodo, in the perspective of an independent activity of 3d art has no sense to use expensive sw, but I am spoiled by their functions. However, nothing prohibits in a future that this activity is realized (3d for modelling, for example).
I'd like to know if I missed some interesting sw. advice?

Thank you.

... owing to an independent activity of 3d art has no sense to use expensive sw

This is a concept on which I disagree. if working on expensive software allows you to be more productive, a sense can have it.

Yes, I always think of it the same way, otherwise I would not have worked on alias and catia until now.
the concept you mentioned is restricted to this particular case, at the time of nature "lude".
