3ds max was pretty popular before in-engine I remember trying to learn it before C++ and it was harder than any programming concept... can't tell if it was my laggy head or the obtuse UI.

I remember Max being remarkably intuitive compared to the other 3D software I'd seen at the time.

Non-destructive mesh modifiers were mind-blowing.

I couldn't figure it out either, coming from lightwave.

3ds max harder than C++? hmm I don't know about that. It was one of the easier pieces of 3d software to learn at the time I thought. I believe it was Maya I also tried but didn't even bother.
