Ulead Cool 3D Production Studio is another great 3D program I highly recommend to buy.

What I like best about it is the 3D Fonts and the Textures you can put on objects, as you can see in my below picture.

For my Alice in Wonderland Tea Party picture I used a pink and purple checker texture on the teapot and fonts.  The fonts themselves, I used Oject Style the round bevel option. 

You can use all sorts of backgrounds: color, image, video, gradient etc. For my cherrys picture below, I used a neat pink blue swirl for my background.
