i´d look into cinema4d and 3dsmax. between them it´s a pc/amiga decision, except you don´t run windows on your mac, then 3dsmax is not for you.
their features are basically the same, all the basics, modeling, texturing, lighting, (animating) are covered well. both are well supported by 3rd party developers, both have large communities for the q and the a. i guess you´re ok with photoshoping the 3d assets you´ll produce into a final image, in this case the only hassle in the beginning will be the modelling. i don´t think that there´s a 3d application that makes modelling significantly less painful than any other. so that´s that.
i also hear good things about luxology´s modo, they are said to having built their app into quite a nice package the last years, but i haven´t tested it, but you can run it on a mac.
