We really like Rhinoceros, Carl, and have been using it for years. While it doesn't directly process point clouds on its own, after a point cloud has been reduced in size (in outside software you can find cheaply or even free), it is nicely displayed for use in Rhino. We find Rhino's tools intuitive to use, and it's a pretty powerful 3-D modeler. It's also very reasonably priced, at around $1K.
Good luck,
