[Get a free copy right here!](http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/)  
I see that terragen uses heightmaps! They can be used in 4ds max too but the heightmap has to be created in ps or some kinda painting program and ind 3ds max there are not so many options for it cuz 3ds max is not only for landscapes it’s for everything! 🙂  
btw! I messed around with terragen and why do my Pictures turn out to be like 2d??(-: :!: :crazy: (-:

Well Ray, that depends on what ye want to do =)

3dsmax offers ease of use (sorta), and is quite understandable considering learning the tricks. Only drawback is, that modelling complex objects is SO friggin hard.

Maya, on the other hand, is a PAIN… Except at modelling… odd really… but it’s a hella lot easier to model in Maya then 3dsmax.

So, easy modelling choose Maya, easy effects and basic animations (incl motion capture, and the likings :P) choose 3dsmax. =)

Or just buy both! 🙂

Personally I have 3dsmax, I like to make kewl effects 😛 I know jack about modelling… did a dolphin waaaay back… friggin tough…
