Hello everyone!
As stated in the topic I’m quite in doubt witch choosing my main modeling software.
I’ve used Max for 2 years at work, I’m confident with it’s workflow and interface, I also succeed with modeling for 3D printing even with “dark side” very complex models.
On the other hand there is Blender which I have one day experience with. Now I’m going to start my own business and Blender has one vivid advantage - it’s free.
Basically the question is to spend 6k on Max licence or three times less on Blender course + buy scanner for the rest. Are they comparable at all? Is possible to model complex lattice-like or voronoi models in Blender? Has anyone use it for 3D print modeling? Does anyone use both and can compare?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Hey @bartv can you help point out some of the benefits of Blender, besides that one vivid advantage 
and are you guys having any Blender meetups in Krakow any time soon? Cheers
There’s a free trial of 3Ds Max. Have you tried it out?
These software really often come down to a very personal taste. I am not sure about the benefits of either of them, but unless 3Ds Max has some irreplaceable features it seems like Blender would save you a lot of money ,
Also, Fusion 360 is a new modeling tool of Autodesk. You could give that one a try as well. I don’t know if it satisfy your needs though.
I tried full 2015 version at work and I’m familiar with it. The point is I don’t really know if Max has any irreplaceable futures. Does it? Thank you for mentioning Fusion 360, it looks interesting and has 1-year free startup licence option. I’ve just got the trial and will see.

Hmm, no I’d rather not get caught in that debate 
I checked but there are no upcoming events there…
