I´d say Maya or 3ds max.   You need to be able to 1. make the model  2.  rigg it ( for movement )  3. animate it     Not as easy as it looks.    well, if you make only one image it´s easy, but you´d want to be able to use it in different scenes and in different positions.

No, not a standard figure. People make and rig them. If you look closely they are all actually different. You have pointed out some of the differences above.

I have see you are asking this kind of questions from some time now. What software to use, what machine, etc.
I wonder, if you don´t have any 3d background experience, what makes you think you can just start earning money from this field? Of course you could learn and prectise, but the kind of questions you do makes me feel you think this is like an automatic thing, some magic push the buton and ... voilá!!! image done.
Like any field needs practice and knowledge to master and to let you freely express what you are imaginating.

of course it is not easy, but that's a question to me whether there is a software to animate the dummy, so i just ask, at least now i know there isn't. I guess this questions may help somebody too..

i wonder what is wrong asking a questions? I am sorry if i wasted your time but why don't you just leave stupid people like me alone?

I had a question and i had googled it and i just wanted to have a confirmation. What is wrong with that?

 

Nothing wrong asking questions, don´t take my answer as that, english is not my lenguage and some times i guess my words may be misunderstaken. You can off course make questions about what you want, by the kind of questions you ask, i am under the impression you have not a clue about 3D, even though you are in miscrostock forum asking this questions. My advise is you go to especific forums and tutorials to start lerning, if you like it and get involved in the learning, you shuold then start thinking of making a bussines out of it, i just feel you are starting the wrong way. You can go to cgtalk, that´s a specific forum.
You can just ignore my advise also if you feel it´s with bad intention, bad it´s not the case.

why do you want to make more of those hydrocephalic abominations? they are terrible : (

It´s some kind of anger-ocd.  Extremely common in webforums...

I don't think it is the same question, as some software may come with pre-sets that one may use, or has extras that you buy with a certain set.  Like those models in Daz3D.  As I understand, you get a "model" ready to use, what saves you time.

BTW, I love the work by Palto and purchased several of his images for a project at work.  I prefer the square heads though.

I won't even attempt it, but I think a lot of people forget what this forum is for. It's to help fellow contributors.....somehow that gets forgotten.

I hope that person is a very talented digital artist by the name of Ryan Wood (which I doubt) otherwise he's stolen someone's IP for his Dreamstime avatar.

This is a point I have made previously in other settings but you do NOT have to be able to do modelling to produce rendered images in the same way that you don't need to actually father the children you might photograph.  It may take a long time to become expert but, with low cost or even free tools and commercially available models, you can easily make images suitable for stock use (possibly with the exception of IS).  The example you show is pretty complex in comparison to most stock "stick figures" but could be produced relatively easily even in free software such as Wings 3D (although rigging is a whole other ball game).  With a little imagination such figures could also be produced by adapting, already rigged, commercial models.
