Pros
It is very user friendly, not so hard to learn like other softwares, and for its price it can offer more than other similar softwares that are more expensive.
I really like it, but I wish it would cost a lot less.

The price is the main downside for this software.
The interface lacks antialiasing, it lags sometimes on low-poly objects and the shading viewport model could use some work.
"Make you 3d models fast using 3ds Max"
Overall: My best friend for past 15 years. I tried few similar ones, but they don't have what he has
Pros: It is very user friendly, not so hard to learn like other softwares, and for its price it can offer more than other similar softwares that are more expensive
Cons: Well, you must have a good and strong computer if you want to achieve what you want using Max.I cant say expensive, because it is a relative matter, but if you are an Freelancer architect, and you do this for the living, you need to make things fast...
"The key to realistic renderings"
Overall: I love the flexibility of 3ds Max. Whether it's architectural or character design, this program can render great results. I currently use this program for architectural modeling, but there are many times where I enjoy the ability to custom design something very unique within the same program.
Pros: I love the familiarity with the interface. It's consistently stayed similar over the past 15 years that I've used this program. The interface is easy to understand, but also requires a level of expertise to run the software. This program is the best 3d modeling and rendering software on the market as it's proven itself over and over.
Cons: The price is the main downside for this software. It's definitely an investment year over year.
