No, I wouldn't say that...Your post has been informative...

I have been thru a few introductory lessons in MAX...but I wasn't quite impressed by the final product in relation to the amt of effort involved...however, i enjoyed Bryce a lot...are there any S/W around that combine great landscaping features such as that of Bryce along with 3D character modelling featurer such as the ones offered by MAX/Poser?

What's ur opinion on LightWave and Maya? What do you think of the Avatar Studio for 3D char modelling?

Any suggestions will be appreciated!
