Maya or 3Ds Max?

Feel free to enter other 3D graphics tool.

I personally I prefer Maya because they have freeware version of the software, although it has watermark unlike their commercial version. 3Ds Max has that 30-day trial.

Anyway, besides that, I don't how they differ much. They both produce exceptional graphics as far as I am concerned.

What about Blender? It used to be commercial but now it's OSS.

Another free one is Art Of Illusion, it's made with Java but it works fine. This is mostly if you wan't to get started (it's ez!).
