Well all i know is this.. Maya is used by alot of proffesionals for makeing movies (I.E. Pixar studios makers of toystory 1 and 2) 3ds max is used by alot of gameing proffessionals to make large scale games, and is used by most people i know. i dont know much about lightwave 7 i do know that maya uses obj's mainly and there is now a plugin in the works to import poser items into maya and still be able to use poses morph channels and textures (see attached url)which to me looks amazeing especialy the pharoh pic M3 looks alomst too real to me. almost and it is still in development but there is a beta version available. well there were my 2 cents and now im broke lol i hope this helps you some. tring to help Grace37
