Anim8tor, for Windows.

It's free, and I've heard very good things about it. Seems very easy to learn, too. http://www.anim8or.com

Extremely hard, if you ask me. But it makes good results if you manage to learn it. A good animation program is Hash's AnimationMaster (www.hash.com) but I think it's around $200.

Animation Master is decent from what I've heard, but I don't believe you can get photorealistic results from it.

This isn't what you asked for, but I think it would work better for you in this instance. You need a lab for compositing? Why not just build a physical model of it? It would be much easier than learning a 3D program and practicing until you can make a photorealistic model for use, and it would be far cheaper because you're just not going to find a free 3D program that will do what you want.

Check http://www.terragenesis.co.uk for ideas and instructions on building the model, that should definitely get you started. Good luck!
