I use both. Lately I prefer 3ds max because it doesn't heat up my laptop as badly as rending in cycles does. Also making all those nodes in blender can get tiring and confusing at times.

I think when it comes results like lighting and the bump maps I think 3ds max does a little better job. But I think blender handles things like hair and low res textures better.  So it's a draw. lol

I feel the same. They both have their pros and cons. I find handling transparency with hair and objects to be harder with Blender than in Max, but I like the hair results better in Blender. What I'm looking for is rendering program that can produce results close to cinematic quality like we see in the game cutscenes. Haven't had any luck between these yet in creating one. Thought of trying SFM? :/

I tried SFM for a second got confused and deleted it. lol Also I find only some games render nice in there, like the Bioshock ones.

Tried it once too - felt too sophisticated to me compared to what I'm used too. :/

Thanks for your thoughts, as always - love your work.

Seeing most people use it for porn, it's hard for me to see it very sophisticated. lol

Your welcome!
