you need to focus more on the actual techniques involved with 3d animation moreso than the software.

this board has a weird sense of adhering to tools instead of techniques. you could use softimage, silo, wings3d, blender, max, maya, modo cinema4d, or even fucking unreal or unity for everything you need, so long as you know why and how. the best is the one that makes you go "this makes intuitive sense to me". unless you're a business, you shouldn't only worry about that. i'd use softimage for everything just cuz i like the ui. for work? i'd use maya or max. it depends.
