Whats often overlooked is that AutoDesk spends a lot of money, training and getting Higher Institutions to use its products. This creates a revenue stream for them from the next generation of users. It works! trust me.
oh i see!!!....Now that's some insider information from a cool buddy!!!
Yo man they are filthy rich...filthy rich people spend a lot on business strategies....the thing is they've bought 3dsmax from discreet and revit from some masachussets company...i don't know -

... we're still getting lessons in maya and autocad, but when it comes down to it - everyone uses sketchup. Even (some of) the teachers are saying "well, ok the curriculum says you ought to make a maya model, but if you hand in a SU model, it's fine with us!"
. but then, you were looking specifically for Stills. So, use SU! And tell your classmate to go and animate things if he likes Max so much
ditto for mee pyro!!! but our teachers aren't so lenient but heck ...they don't know sketchup.... i gave some of my max rendering virtual architecture submissions in sketchup only..shhhhhh!!!

I work in a large VFX studio. I've got unlimited access to Maya/Renderman, Houdini, Massive - you name it, it's all there!
They also, on my request, own a copy of SketchUp.
Sometimes, SU it all you need. And if it's all you need, it's probably the fastest solution too.
You don't need a ferrari to round up sheep - you need a sheepdog.

(And just to be really pedantic, 3ds Max wasn't used on Avatar, maya was, but I realise that's sort of beside the point for this argument)

Su is like this !

I think that Sketchup is a design tool before its a modeler. Max is a modeler and not a design tool.
I don't use Sketchup because its the best modeler, but because it is a best design tool.
I am speaking as an architect.

I don't use SketchUP - it's using me!

I guess that means that 3ds Max is like this:

And that's why you cannot simply put it into your pocket.

hi,
for cutting this argument we can analize each of them and write advantages and disadvantages.
in general i'm working with (SU) , but in some cases it is really weaker than 3ds max.
advantages of SU :
1.quick
2.easy
3.attractive work space
4.nice renders
5.supporting most of formats for importing and exporting
.
.
.
disadvantages of SU :
1.weak in some aspects
2.it is useful just for modeling and you can't do other works like animations or face designing &... in it.
3.has problem in curves.
4.you can't edit the curve surfaces whatever you like.(this is the worst disadvantage).
.
.
.
advantages o 3dsmax :
1.include all the designing methods .
2.perfect and accurate work space
3.perfect renders and exports
4.quick and accurate in designing curves and curve surfaces.
5.professional
6.include animations and designing faces
.
.
.
disadvantages of 3dsmax :
1.takes more time
2.hard to learn
.
.
.goodluck

Price not mentioned?
But I'm unsure as to why you chose 3DS Max to compare SU against.

From your statistics, Pilou, perhaps Blender is 3x harder to use? 3x more questions! haha
I joke...

I assume he made a search, but didn't take any notice of the dates of the original discussion...
Comparing SU with 3ds Max seem slightly ridiculous IMO...
It's like comparing a Lamborghini with an Audi... -
Not such a good comparison Kim, as Lamborghini use Audi engines.
I know what you mean though haha

Normally each post has its own date!
Mine was 4 years old! And older of 2 days against the first post!

I know, Oli...
Wanted to see if anybody would comment on exactly that...
Besides, don't you have an Audi A3 - as far as I remember...? -
I always suggest my friends to try Sketchup and inspire them by showing how can I quickly do things from small object detail to large urban model.
I only need 3dsmax when client ask for some WOW images.
SU is must have tool for designer. It takes a 3D guy only few weeks to start to drive like a sport car.
