Rendering software

[Killer]

Lets say I was to look into "buying" a 3D program such as Maxon, C4D, Etc.. Which one would be most recommended? Price is no issue.

lol, hax.
i recommend C4D. you need little experience to use it effectively, and its also very powerful.

c4D hands down.
Get the demo first though, If you have a legal version, than they will contact like customer service, and you can ask them how to do things

I'd say C4D too. 3D Studio Max and Maya are the leading 3D software, but you almost need to take courses, or else you will probably not understand anything. Cinema 4D is easier to understand, but I guess it doesn't handle scipts and stuff as good as 3DSM and especially not Maya.
But that doesn't matter for you. :P

C4D is modelling, texturing and rendering combined. If you just want a rendering program, Id suggest Brazil, Vray, or Maxwell.

3DS is the leading software, maya, lightwave, c4d, rhino, and most others (exc. blender) are all good.

I use C4D and Zbrush..
