    Blender is an alternative to 3DS Max in the same way an actual car is an alternative to flintstoning a burnt out wreck. Even in college a lot of our very basic rendering exercises with Max got the whole grade just on demonstrating correct setup because the software is so prone to crashing or taking 20h to do what most alternatives (paid or free) can do in 20 minutes.

        Yeh, admittedly I have a lot more experience with blender than 3DS Max, but from performance differences alone I’m pretty sure if Max released today without its massive pre-existing industry adoption it would be laughed out of the room.
