trueSpace 4 has a brand new render engine, capable of extremely high-quality
raytracing and radiosity. The modeler (IMO one of the very best available)
is now capable of NURBS modeling.
AM98/99 is also a very capable program, featuring a spline modeler and a
much-improved render engine as well.
I have access to Lightwave as well, and it is of course an outstanding
package, but if you're on a budget either tS or AM might be the way to go.
If you can afford it, buy both :-)
As far as doing professional-quality work, personally I think that's
more of a talent/mindset thing than a software thing. Just my opinion.
