beginner again question

msegarra12

I'm getting back into 3d animation again after my stroke in 2017,  I'm planning to focus on 3d modeling and sculpting, i'm  trying to figure out my best workflow  currently what I've come up with so far is:  maya for base mesh  into mudbox  then export texture maps and render  with  maya's Arnold.
Does this make sense I'm wondering if 3ds max is better for modeling though?

There is no "better" in terms of 3D modelling tools - its whatever works best for you. Try Max and see if you like its workflow, and try Zbrush and see if its better for you than Mudbox.  
Good luck on your journey

what exactly are you aiming for here?

if this is just for your personal joy, i'd just say stay away from autodesk products, grab blender. it has grown immensely over the last years, no need to pay a monthly subscription just to have a good modelling toolset.

If it's just for yourself, then I reckon Blender, zBrush and Marmoset.
