Take a look at this page.

I haven't used Maya or 3DS Max enough to know which is easier to learn.
Very good read and thanks both of you! I have free access to both Maya and 3DS through my school(networking degree, which is kind of odd but they have a page I can download a lot of the professional programs from for free) so very thankful for that. Looking at that page 3DS seems to be the proper choice, and I would be mostly using it to make monsters/furniture when I feel confident later on(not sure what armatures is, I looked it up but not sure what I was reading lol and how that would be different from what 3DS can do). Am I correct in that assumption? Also whichever has a higher tutorial amount for learning would be beneficial to me, I would use Blender but I am not sure since I have read other places it's actually got a steeper learning curve compared to 3DS max(since I posted that first topic though that may not be so with what I am using them for).
