This maybe true...but I feel that 3ds isn't really user friendly. Takes a while to learn where everything is. Blender is the same way, but its a little more user friendly then 3ds. I like the ease of finding things over the overall result, especially when they can produce almost the exact result. :)

There are two short stories on YouTube that were created entirely in Blender. The graphics were amazining, reminded me of Pixar...

I dont what they have changed in Blender sine the last time I used it, but you think that Blender has a friendly UI? 3DS Max is the second most simple 3d program I have used. It may be because I have used it for so long but when I used blender I could only make a cube and then look at all of the sides with the perspective camera, and even then I wasnt sure what was going on.

In short, I would like to say: Get Max or Maya. They are expensive for a reason. They work, better than anything I have tried. Or if you plan on doing just solid surface work that isn't too complicated - AC3D is champion for that work. From what I have seen. Blender makes nice cartoon looks. While Max makes nice realistic work and Maya is the buffer between both.

Blender render

Take a look at that render...I'm just saying...that was entirely done in Blender, using the indigo render.

Everyone has their own opinion when it comes to this kinda stuff, and I don't want this to go to an argument. Everyone has their preference, but for those that want a FREE 3d software to create, Blender 3d, Anim8or or Ogre are a good spot to start.
