I've been using 3dsMax for about 8-9 years.. Decided to figure out the interface of blender, and got a real big surprise... As long as you decide that you won't give up after 10 minutes of fiddling.. you might end up like me, and actually like the interface much better then 3dsmax... Both programs have their ups and downs, but overall, i really do like blender's interface and feature-set.. i've been using blender for about a year now.. got hooked after a couple of days with tutorials...
