"I'm do not doubt that it is used for things other than engineering presentation, but i belive engineering is the largest chunk of 3ds max's market."

Actually, Tyger_purr, Autocad has more of a following in the engineering department (another Autodesk product). 3dsMax is owned by Discreet, a subdivision of Autodesk, and is geared towards game developement professionals more than anything. However, the newest version incorporates a VAST improvement in character creation and developement for more than just games as well.

That Rockfish animation, for example, in the other thread was done with 3dsmax.
