What program is better for everything?.... modeling,texturing,rendering,animation(people and vehicles),effect's...

Im not sure what software to use... my friend suggest me to use Maya but i think 3ds max is better so its a rely big deal cos im planing to buy one of those.
And im new to 3D modeling (except that i used 3ds max 2006 and zmodeler 2 to have fun with gta sa animations and models)

Nice comparison right there. I have no idea what they guy three posts down is talking about, but it explains the pros and cons of both i guess.

Also see what will run best for your gfx card. See what openGL version is etc...

If you are doing any type of modeling for GTA Games, then 3ds Max=ftw With a few plugins, it can support GTA models.

3Ds Max of coarse!
