Po, don't forget you need the purchase version of 3D Canvas ($35.) The free version does not export to DirectX.
Personally I'ld say forget 3D Canvas and get CharacterFX ($15) or use Milkshape ($20.) CharacterFX is a better animation tool but you'll need a separate modeler; of course, Wings3D is free and can create models. Milkshape is an all-in-one tool for modeling and animating but it isn't as good at either. At any rate, either CharacterFX or Milkshape is cheaper than 3D Canvas and can export to b3d file format.
