3D Max 2015 is best

You would help the original poster a lot more if you explained your reasons for that.

I'm using Blender but 3D max was awesome first' I'm learning about 3D animation from it

[dannixx55]

I would recommend 3D Max for beginners because it's easy to understand and use it. I would also recommend the following: Cinema4d, Aladdin 4d and iclone

For me is the Autodesk Maya 2014, Offers high-performance creative tools for artists and technical directors working in 3D game development and visual effects and accept all plataforms ( Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, Linux and Mac OS X).

For 3d animation I like 3d Max 2015. You should try out this one. Also as most of them said 3D Max 2015

I think it's autodesk Maya , it's a little hard to use at first but it's really powerfull.
