You can get Maya LT for $500 IIRC. It’s a slightly slimmed down version designed for indie devs. There’s a lot of people here who use Blender, it has the capability to do everything you need. 3DS has the most usable UI IMO, Maya’s is more complex but that’s mostly a result of it packing more features for stuff like serious rigging and animating.

I second this. I also feel that has the best UI but that may be because I leaned it first. However, if you learn to use Maya you will already be well on your way to feeling comfortable with Epics Animation and Rigging Toolkit (ART) which many use to help with their animations.
