Modo, while still costing something, is also much less expensive than the software programs shown here by the way. But if I had to pay full-price, I’d probably look a little more closely at Blender and SketchUp. The only limitation is that I’m not allowed to produce anything with these for commercial purposes.

I’m in the lucky situation that my daytime job at the university makes me eligible for the academic versions. Yes, 3D software is mostly anywhere between expensive and really expensive. I’d imagine a very common criteria would also be the price.

availability of great (photorealistic) render engines.

good learning path (easy to get into, but with my handy features to speed up the workflow).

availability of good documentation/tutorials.
