Research 3d Max and Maya and make an educated decision about why you are choosing to use one and not the other

Question

I need help to do my portfolio this is the question Can any one give three reasons why to use use Maya or 3Dmax.

Answer 1

I'm a Maya fan myself. I find that it's just way more powerful. Maya seems to be pretty much the industry standard for real hardcore CG effects in Hollywood these days. But, for specific comparisons, see these sites:

Answer 2

i have used 3ds max over the course of five years and 5 different versions and service packs, and i can confidently say that maya, by default, has to be better. that said, there is nothing you can't do with max, as confusing and buggy as it is.
