Looking for the right 3D Program

I would kindly ask your advice and help. I am looking for a program where I can record my action figures and give life within the same program by means of photography. I've attached pictures of my action figures and how I want them to be seen using the right program. I have been searching on the internet but there are so many 3D programs that I do not know which to choose, and I do not want to choose something that I regret later. Thanks again, I'll be waiting for your response.

    If you are talking about stop motion animation, photographing models and changing their poses frame by frame, then none of the software here is what you want. All of the software on this site is CGI based. the 'models' are just computer data. It's like having a virtual studio in your computer, no real models or cameras are involved.

    If you want to try CGI then Daz Studio is a good starting point and it is free. You could try to re-create your models using morphs for the facial features and body shapes. You would have to try and find clothes and sets that look like what you want and they would mostly not be free.

    Carrara is a full modelling program, you can use it to create clothes and sets yourself but it takes time and practice to do this well.

    Yes, it's not really clear if you want to do CGI or stop motion, if it is stop motion you are interested in (animating real action figures by taking frame by frame pictures) the best software for that is DragonFrame (dragonframe.com) it will work with pretty much any camera but either a web camera or a DSLR is the best choice (pretty much all commercial stop motion (Laika) these days are made with Dragon Frame).

    If you want to create your own CGI action figures from scratch you can use almost anything (Blender is free / Carrara, Lightwave cheaper / Modo, C4D not so cheap), if you want to take existing CGI characters and get cloth and things for them to create copies of your real action figures Daz Studio could be a good choice.

    Some commercial software has 30 day trial version you can use to see if it the right thing for you without having to spend the money first.

    you might be interested in Crazytalk Animator by Reallusion

    We are not allowed to give offsite links but you can Google it

    You can literally photograph your models then using the 2D rigging in the program animate them 

    it has a 3D like depth effect though actually 2D vector graphics.
