To set the record straight, both apps are used heavily in the game industry. Some studios prefer Max, others Maya. The studio I work for is all Maya (about 200 seats). Everything art-related from levels to characters to props to effects isdone in Maya. I've also worked with Max at previous companies. In both cases, I have always been able to get my work done just fine.

My personal preference is Maya, though, because I tend to animate faster in Maya. If I had to, I could still animate just fine in Max. I'm just more used to Maya right now. user added image

I like Maya. It just feels more natural. Max was the first thing I tried, and it felt awkward. Maya didn't. So I stuck with it. I still like Maya. It's tools should be the standard for most every other 3d program out there.

...and that is how I saved the world.

At the start, i just wanted to make games. And i researched ALOT.
but then after 1-3 months it was more the art/graphic itself i was interested in. Finally i purchased Maya, and started to model, and i found out that Max was used for games at the time and that Maya was used for films.
One met when i got in gymnasium (kind a high school) had max ad i tried it.

I find it very confusing. Maya is so very easy.
