Ok, so aside from using MoI, I still need a poly modeller for some things, and a renderer.

So my 3 choices look like this:

3ds Max
Maya
Modo

I have a bit of experience with Max, but none with Maya or Modo.

PaQ, I notice you use Modo.

So for modelling and rendering things like space ships, etc. which of those 3 would you recommend?

Cheers
