Answer 3

in my opinion, i think Blender3d will be super great for you, it has all the 3d tools for making games,animations,3d simulations etc........and the best part of it is that its written in python(i think you should learn python if you haven't, you will practically be able to crawl your way into almost every sector that requires programming
) and its open source, you can practically see every single block of code that makes it awesome and also it has a large community of awesome programmers and materials to get you started in no time......Blender will probably take you about a year to become a pro(not meant to discourage you) at using it.
