OT: Any recommendations for some Mac OS x Apps?

>> 3D animation: Blender


For Mac 3D modeling, I've gotten into Cheetah3D:
http://www.cheetah3d.com/
Currently $149 (sometimes on sale for $99)

I'm a 3D novice, but this has been relatively easy to understand with a nice
interface and inexpensive.  I spent a few hours with Blender and could not
figure it out.
