i use 3ds max for most of my work.

Mainly Blender.

I''ll sometimes make a terrain in Terragen and use that in Blender, or make some organic objects in Blender and put them in a Bryce scene, but it''s been a long time since I''ve done that.

Textures come from Painter or Gimp.

Cinema 4d.

Starting Maya in the fall, might make time to learn 3ds over the summer.

Overally, Maya and 3ds are really really good to know if you are wanting a job. But if you are learning, really any package is good. The fundamental skill of 3d modelling is all the same.

Its all relative. Hell, I even am taking figurative sculpture because I''m sure it will help my modelling. A skill is a skill! No matter what the medium!

Hey,
I do organic modeling with houdini, rhino and maya, and inorganic modeling with maya and softimage. I render with maya and do texturing and materials with max.

If Alias/Wavefront and Discreet merged they would create 3ds Maya!
