I'm looking at 3D modeling software, and would like help deciding on which system to use.

A few requirements:
- Not too expensive .. $150 fine, but certainly not the pro tools at $1000+
- Has a book or two at least that make it easy to learn
- Can import/export standard files so can be used with other programs.
- Reasonable feature set: easy to create meshes, texture maps, rendering
  (Animation/Game Engine not required .. export/import can help there)
- Run on both Mac/Windows

As usual, wikipedia has some pointers to jog your memory if need be:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_computer_graphics_software
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_3D_computer_graphics_software

Are any of you experienced with a 3D modeling system that you could give a brief review of?
