I work exclusively using Blender doing professional product visualization. It’s really an incredible triumph of open-source software.

EDIT: I actually haven’t tried Max or Maya, but then again, I haven’t needed to. Blender’s feature set has been perfectly capable for my needs and use cases.

I think that Blender has pushed Autodesk and Side-Effects to recently offer vastly-reduced price "indie" licenses for Maya, Max and Houdini. There are some limitations, of course, particularly a maximum revenue limit of $100K/yr, the licenses can't be used in the same pipeline as full-license seats, etc.
