Quote - I think Vue can translate all those skin shader nodes, and it renders almost as good as any Max renderer I've seen.  If all you are looking for is a renderer, Vue is much cheaper and just as good I think.

 

That's a very good point!  when I want to use something jsut for the sake of better quality render, I use cararra (similar to vue in that aspect), and with interposer in the pro version things come across very nicely, including rigging.

The reason I bring things into Max is for modeling and more nuts and bolts kind of work. I find setting up lighting and enviroinments etc sort of a pain in Max (when Carara or Vue are available).

I hear a lot of good things about Cinema4D, but I'm not about to invest in it for hobby purposes. I got lucky with having Max at work :).
