Can someone explain the difference between these?
The autodesk website does a very poor job of describing.
Thanks

Lets see, you can try this thread:
http://area.autodesk.com/for...-between-3ds-max-and-maya
or this one:
http://area.autodesk.com/for...max-design-2010/max--maya
or here it is again:
http://area.autodesk.com/for...ted-2009-main-differences
Or you can google it and get every opinion in the world. I apologize for being Smarmy, but the difference between Max and Maya is the dead horse in the stall next to the ribbon interface.

Did you read the links...?
All the answers are there for you, but you must decide.

Whenever I get really frustrated with Max I download a demo of something else to play with for a while. Invariably it always strikes me that all of the major modeling applications are capable of doing pretty much the same incredible things, with very similar workflows, through slightly different interfaces. They are also all complex, nuanced and not for the feint hearted. Personally I am trying to stop obsessing over which program is “the best” and accept that they are all tools for accomplishing the same end. Learn how to use any one of them well, and you will know what to expect from both using and learning any other of them.
My best advice, besides being realistic about the preferred tool for your industry, your budget, your system capabilities, and how you plan to go about learning; is to take advantage of the trials and apprentice licenses. Download as many applications as you can find and dive in. You’ll get a feel for what works best on your system, which UI appeals to you, and how accessible help and learning materials are.
By the way, you should never expect to get a specific and meaningful answer to a vague and general question.
