I seriously wouldn't advise using anim8tor from most points-of-view. Its not really suitable for serious game moddeling.
Go for one of the free programs, My suggestion is don't buy a professional program like 3ds max, and don't think the 30-day trial is sufficient time to choose whether you ant to. The best way to know if you should get these programs is to get a lot of experience in it first, how you do that, is a problem which I'm sure is causing autodesk some sales problems whilst there are all those free alternatives
I can seriously vouch for blender, why not
check this out
now I know somebody will shout at me If I don't say this, so don't get your hopes up about making anything that good any time soon, especially in FPSC, it's impossible
