early this year i purchased cinema4D r9 , bodypaint3D II and the Advanced Rendering Plugin for Cinema. I find the MAXON product more comfortable to work with, without having to study the program for years. i tried 3dMax, but didnt like the gui. just a case of personal taste:)

for the light: RADIOSITY RULES!
