hello, for architectural viz, the max workflow is faster, and you have very good renders for that.

I know in max 8 you can edit paint your editpolys...

You know both are going to be quite similar in the long run... they are both discreet products now.

For Architecture, I would definitely go with max.

have fun!

There both AUTODESK products.

i'd not make up your mind until you try out both demos.

My suggestion is to start with max.

What do you REALLY want to end up doing?

 

If it's architectural work, then Max is a good bet but for the other disciplines you mention, knowledge of Maya is a good skill to have.

 

If you can, learn both. Studios find that very appealing as they generally use more than one application.

See how you find the demos.
