Blender; free alternative to Maya ($3,700) and After Effects ($240/year).
http://blender.org
Blender has a complete VFX pipeline in one single software package. Blender has tools for modeling, sculpting, rigging, animation, rotoscoping, chroma keying (green screen), motion tracking, smoke, fire, and fluid simulation, particles, destruction, physics, color grading, node compositing, and video editing.
After Effects uses "layer-based" compositing. Blender uses "node-based" compositing similar to Nuke ($4,155); used in the movie industry http://thefoundry.co.uk/products/nuke
Blender has more advanced features but After Effects is easier to use.
The easiest and most detailed tutorial on how to use Blender is Neal Hirsig's tutorial at http://gryllus.net/Blender/3D.html
Blender is 100% free with full functionality, no adware, no spyware, and no viruses, and you're allowed to use Blender in any production without having to pay for anything.
