I think that depends on what you want to do...(modeling/animating)
I'll just sum up the features of both for you: 3ds max: + straightforward, more user-friendly + easier to learn + your choice for game modeling (easy skinning, convert to game model filetypes, loads of plugins that help you with almost every aspect of modeling/skinning) Maya: + your choice for animation in general (better, more powerful animation editor) + your choice for character animation (cloth, hair and fur effects included) + in my opinion overall more powerful as far as character modeling and animation is concerned Now if you are completely new to 3D Design in general, i would recommend you start with 3ds max for now, since it is easier to learn and handle and afaik also cheaper. have fun! |

It goes back and forth all the time for which software is the choice package for game development. It was Max for a few years, now Maya is back in vogue. But it sounds like you're interested in making movies? I would probably go with Maya.

if you want to make just human models for the most part and import it into any 3d modeling program, i'd go with Poser 5, its stunningly realistic (for graphics that is) and its very very flexible

It depends on choice of the Modeller there may be Lightwave 3D which can be a better option Lightwave3D is easier in all respects and ofcourse enough to get what you want. I use lightwave3D [even when its hard to plug a character in VC++ modelled in Lightwave3D adios |
