3ds max

Max by far. However, it is very expensive and the trial only lasts 30 days. You can get a student liscence for around $250 I believe.

if you want to Re-model, then use milkshape because 3dsmax gives it additional verticies and indicies.

but if you want to model use 3dsmax.

A student license only lasts about a year, while stand alone is forever. And for a student license, you need a note from your teacher, or principle about it, because they are usually used for school modelling classes.

I got Gmax because I'm permanently broke and even if I wasn't, 3DS is WAY outside my price range and last time I... well, it stuffed my PC up.

Gmax isn't bad; the most annoying thing is it won't export in filetypes you can actually OPEN in other programs

And it doesn't render either, that's pretty annoying.
