I'm not sure what they use specifically, but three of the major 3D graphics tools in use these days are Maya, 3D studio Max, and Softimage.

EDIT: Although it seems that Autodesk owns both Maya and 3DS Max.

It takes years of experience, a whole team of people, and a large cluster of computers (on the order of 1000 or more) to render.

yeah i know... i have downloaded the softimage program demo version to see the diference between maya....

softimage have many good features... but maya have some good stuff i just can't decide wich is better...

anyway, i just now one thing for i make 5 seconds of fmv like ff i will take a year or much more :S thats bad...

i think i go give up ...

I know they used houdini for the water effects in FFX. I don't know if they used it for anything else though.

HEY!! WHOAA WHOAA WHOOOAA!!! Giving up!!?? Most artists know that the best thing about a finished piece is knowing how much effort and time went into it.. it makes you appreciate it more... don't give up yet... sure you can't do it a well as square, but who knows one day you could end up working with them... if you enjoy it (as im guessing you do) stick with it...
