Have you guys looked at Blender? It's not open-source, but it is free for
use...
http://www.blender.nl
Linux Versions as well as SGI and Solaris versions exist, and it's
scriptable in python.
I've been using it for about 2 years, and although the learning curve is
steep, it's VERY activey developed, and the community is incredibly
active.
hope this helps!
