Started in max 4 & 5 in school, still use max 5 at work, now using Maya 4.5 at home. Once you get past modeling and texturing, max is just too painful to use. Although I have to admit max integrates nicely with my 2D work (splines, easy to set up renders), and the curve editor is nice. I like the draw curve function and…
Max atm. It's the first pro package I learned how to use (through gmax). I'd like to try out Maya but time and a poor computer are restricting my efforts in that department ><;
Softimage XSI.. loved it so much i bought it after using it at college.. i learned 3d modelling basics on max and then maya, but after using xsi i stay the hell away from those two.
well I do alot of strip modeling in Maya, it would probably go faster if I could be arsed to make a hotkey for extrude edge... but after the first extrude edge I just have to hit 'g' to repeat the last command.

But what is strip modeling? Just a quick way to visualize your mesh with more or less final volumes and loops. In the…
what are these better poly tools in max that everyone talks about? All the tools I used in max have their mirror in Maya (with the bonus tools installed for hiding individual faces on a mesh). Not trying to start an argument, chances are it's just stuff I never saw in max.
I use 3dsmax because I like my tools already written for me and in the box, working. F*%^ the scripting language... max is sublimly good. I mean, tried just selecting faces in maya lately... oh wait, I can write a script for... never mind, I will just use max instead.
Booo!!! so many options left out of the poll! What happened to blender, wings3d, milkshape, lightwave, Softimage|XSI, cinema4d and others?? hmmm?? I use XSI, mainly cause in school I was able to use both xsi adn maya and xsi just felt more natural and easier to use and just as powerful. before school I used 3dsmax here and…
