If you want to practise, learn or just have fun, modeling with 3DS Max is perfect, It can be used for all sorts, from creating characters to designing in game levels for games. Its not just games models that can be created in 3DS Max, oh no, you can use it for just about anything that you need a concept for, such as buildings and product design models!
To start off with you will need to have a good computer. This is a must when your modeling because of the long rendering times. In general the processing power that is required to run the program is huge so a powerful proccessor will speed this up.
My computer that I will be using is a medium spec computer, it isnt the worlds most powerful machine yet it handles 3DS Max well. I bought this over the summer and added my graphics card into it, to make it a little better.
