All I will say is this - there's a reason that 3DS Max sells for ~$3500 .

$600 or whatever if you're a student.

Stuff looks nice, although I would really recommend taking a look at those tutorials. The UI for Max looks complex but it really isn't once you get the hang of it. It took me around a month to figure the UI out, and that was just playing around with a trial back in like, late 7th or early 8th grade. Lol.
