I dont know about this software, if Im right, to get all of these features (Modeling, Animation, Motion Editting, Characters, Particles, Lighting,Texturing, Mantra Renderer and Compositing) you have to buy the full "Visual Effects/ full Pipeline" package, which costs a whopping,insane amount of $17'000 US.

I dont know who would do that, I mean, Max comes with all of that, and if you dont like the default renderer of Max you can easily buy a plugin for about $1000US. All in all, with max and possibly a plugin or 2, your still looking at less than $5000 or around that.

$17'000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THATS RIDICULOUS, I'll stick with the pioneers
