Something like Maya should be good for it, good luck with the course

I'm greatly hindered by the game's character design mechanics, which is why it looks pretty, um, poor (Though I was happy with the face - you can't see it very well on the shots, but I managed to recreate the "sunken" look especially around the mouth area fairly well considering, and the tools available were flexible enough to do his bad eye.) Unfortunately, even though it's extremely flexible beyond what you'd see in most other virtual worlds... it wouldn't come close to a good 3D program. Hope to learn myself some day.
