This topic has popped up many times, so I would suggest that you peer down, and there are discussions on 3rd Party software. And to answer your question, you can use 3rd Party Software. But 3d Studio Max should be the primary animating software per se. You can use something like Inventor and AutoCAD for modeling. However you can use other software like Maya, Bryce 5 (the best for landscaping), Cinema 4d. You will also need an image editor like Photoshop, and a video editor like Final Cut Pro (If you have Combustion, It will look good, but its expensive and will have very little effect).
Since Autodesk presents this award, it is in your best interest to use as much Autodesk/kinitex/discreet software. You of course will have to list your use of 3rd party apps when you submit your animation.
