Maya does the exact same things as max, plus more, and faster and easier.

Listed conveniently and easily underneath the shaders properties are diffuse, bump mapping, specular, ambience and what not. What you want, when you want it. No screwing around with 5 different buttons, or big lists and the need of hotkeys.

Take Jahrain for example. He's a dam good modeller, artist etc. As far as I know, his knowledge in max equals that of his knowledge in maya. Now why on earth does he prefer to use maya for modelling if he's just as good at max?

Don't get me wrong, I love Maya. I use it a lot more often than max now a days. He had posted that max hadn't had a cut tool when I posted that speed work in Maya video, so I was making sure he knew there was one.

Also, it looks uber high poly. Maybe it is just the smoothing though. Oh yeah, that's just one more thing about Maya that is :awesome:. It's smoothing system is a lot better than max's smoothing. Anyway, it looks okay, I don't see any major faults, just somethings you changed in the model that weren't in the concept.
