3D animation program

[Red Squirrel]

Is there any good programs to make 3D animation other than 3D studio? 3D studio sucks for animation because the way it animates is all weird, if I want to make an object move in one direction, then make it move another, it fudges up the path and it's near impossible to have it like I want, I want something simple and that won't mess around with the way I place stuff.

Thanks
