I am looking at purchasing a 3D modeling Application for interaction with the Upcomming Cryengine 3 Indie and the New UDK Build.

I am Currently using a Student Version of Maya. Maya is too expensive for my budget atm and I do not like how Autodesk targets Large businesses instead of Individuals. Normal People buy their software too.

But anyway I am looking into 3D Apps other than Autodesk just for that reason.

I Have come across the following applications

Cinema 4D

Luxology Modo

Newtek Lightwave 10

Zbrush (Plan to buy this anyway)

If anyone can adivse me on the software I have found or if they can suggest any other software it would be apereciated.
:) My goal with this software is to make next Generation Games and Scenes.

I am right now thinking of Buying MODO, Lightwave 10 and Zbrush for myself.

Please let me know your thoughts

EDIT:

Looking at the Autodesk Education Suite for Entertainment Creation 2011 Student Version on journyed.com

Even though I HATE Maya... It still contains some great software and very Cheap as well. :)

    You can get all autodesk products for free if you are a student, just take a look at students.autodesk.com

    Modo is also a very good modelling package, dunno about Lightwave never used it.
    I wouldn´t recommend buying Cinema 4D, because last time i took a look at it i had problems getting decent exporters for many things.

    This is really unfortunate :(
    In my university you can keep your email even if you are not in it anymore.

    Yeah, that is not the case at my school.

    But The good news is i just registered for another account. Not entirely sure if that is ok...

    Just used my Personal email and Student ID card as proof.

    I think that´s good enough, because not every university or school offers a personal email address for each student. :)

    Autodesk said you could register for their student program with a personal email in their F.A.Q.

    What i meant was that not everyone has such an email address and the only other way to prove it would be a teacher contacting autodesk or like you did showing your id card or something similar.
