Do you want to create 3D character models or animations? Or maybe you want to get into game design so that you can use the application to create game models or game animations. This question is of central importance for your selection decision. What do you want to use the software for? The selection decision essentially depens on how you want to use the corresponding software.

In any case, both applications have now become industry standards and are probably the two most powerful programs. If you are an excellent 3D modeller, you will certainly be considered for job advertisements with required Maya skills if you have perviously specialised in 3ds Max.ģds Max and Maya have their respective strenghts and the selection decision should be made according to your own preferences and intended use. The recruitment decision in practice is often not made on the basis of the knowledge of a certain software, but on the basis of the acquired knowledge or skills in 3D modeling.
