It's also quite good at modelling anything with a succinct (closed-form)
mathematical description. And you can do some pretty interesting stuff
with blobs.

It's news to me that there are modelling applications which are good at
organic shapes. (Or, indeed, any shapes at all...)

Doesn't that cost several hundred thousand pounds?

Haha. Yeah... There's nothing like spheres and torri with an ocasional
naked humanoid thrown in. o_O

OK, let me be more specific: Clearly the likes of Pixar, ILM and so
forth must have tools that enable you to model organic shapes. It's news
to me that normal humans can get their hands on such tools.
(And, as you know, normal humans do not have hundreds of thousands of
pounds.)

I got a free one on a CD in a magazine for about $3.50.

Hash Animation Master is pretty good. Pretty much designed for that sort of
thing, and last I looked it was only $300. Not that I recommend it, mind.
