You can get Blender here: Blender.org
It's free, open source, and not bloatware, so the download is relatively small as far as 3D development suites go.
You don't need much knowledge of blender to use this, and I've set it up so that there should be minimal effort for the user to pose his character and apply skins to it. The body parts are precision modeled and mapped to exactly their dimensions in pixels on the corresponding texture regions. I was very much helped in doing so by Swedman's Skin Helper, so credits go to him for that and also the fact that this blender file comes bundled with his helper image. I find it to be a very concise and simple visual aid, so I hope he has no objection to me re-distributing it.
Now, it also comes with lots of blocks for making scenes; they are located on layer four.

nice work bro.
Interesting... quite useful, but correct there, it's spelt Machinima.
Spelt is Spelled spelled lol
@Hopper567 You fail. I suggest you look up 'spelt' in a dictionary.
LAWL "lol" SPELT and SPELLED IS SAME THING they are all in simple past tense or past participle, but one kind of spelt is :
A wheat, Triticum aestivum spelta, native to southern europe and western Asia, used chiefly for livestock feed.
In Conclusion, YOU GUYS ALL FAIL!!!
The first one corrected a spelling error but had been corrected by another mistakenly.
The second, tried to correct the guy who corrected another guy but failed because its the same thing.
The last (Premises187) corrected everyone who corrected others and he had half good answer...
let the epic battle rage!
the epic fight of grammar nazis: FIGHT!
