    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.

    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...
