I use Cinema4D, Silo2, ZBrush, Bodypaint, Photoshop and a set of digital SLR cameras mainly for content creation.
Then there are many many little tools from the educational and scientific side of software which can be used like tree-generators, polygonal modelers with a mathematical twist, etc. - more exotic stuff.

The best standard-interchange formats for my pipeline would be .obj, .3ds, .fbx (in that order). That or specialised exporter plugins for specific target systems.
