    I was just exploring TS3 to double-check my answer. Now, go
figure, my user-guide does not mention TIMs as a valid file format,
but I notice that if I choose the option "Render Scene to File", TIM
is offered as a format to save in. If you choose "Save Object as..."
or "Save Scene as...",  TIM is not offered.  How strange that the
section on 2D rendering formats does not mention this... I am
double-checking, and it just is not mentioned... Thanks, I learned
something new and important. I just did a quick experiment, and it
will save a scene in TIM format. 
   As for the new question, hopefully someone who is an artist will
chime in, I am not sure what you are asking. Are you asking me if
creating animations is convienent, are you asking about creating 
people or objects in motion, or are you asking for a list of 3D file
formats that are supported?
