Re: 3ds max alternatives?

I've started using the GIMP and blender, both very capable programs, but it's totally different interfaces. Blender has some fancy features that even max doesn't have, like fluid simulations (takes forever) and a built-in game engine.
well never tryed either of those but i have Maya, 3ds max, softimage xsi and lightwave.... i like 3ds max the other programs always seem too foreign it is to complicated they are like powerful tools but seem cheesy.... idk dont stray to far from home...
