I have tinkered with Blender and was originaly put off by the interface. Now that I am familiar and re-arranged all the windows/shortcuts to be more like other apps(Carrara,C4D,Hex), it it is not that bad. It is a great renderer for free with Yafray or POV-ray. It does not have the ease of Carrara but it's character tools seem to be good with Elephants Dream. And now that 2.42 was just released there is a new compositor and render layers as well as other goodies included.

I did not like the character animation in ED or the story but that does not take away from the fact that they did it all with Blender. They also had Ton(the lead developer of the package) with them as well, and I think if you had any software team sitting next to you to write custom stuff everyone would be able to do more in the way of shorts.
