Many People here use 3ds Max 6 or 7 or they will use Gmax (which is free)
both are from discreet if you want the best I would get 3ds max 7. 7 is also very expensive too. Also next time put it under Tech Questions and Problems.

I tried 3Ds Max, it was too complicated....
I find Milkshape Eaiser to use....

3ds Max is a professional 3d Editor, Milkshape is not. 3ds is used to create advanced geometry and other things.

Milkshape is for very low-poly editing like for Half-Life.

which it is hard to use and takes like 2 years to learn!

Took me half a year. Obviously it's going to be hard to learn. Use Gmax then. Almost the entire game of Halo (the models and geometry) were all developed in 3ds.

I am the owner of Gmax and 3DS MAX 6. I almost always use Gmax, because I find the interface alot easier to use. I downloaded a Milkshape trial to export my models for Jedi Academy a while back. I could not understand the interface at all... so good luck mate

. Go for Gmax and/or get a 3ds max 7 trial. Then pm me and i'll tell you what to do.

^^The above is optional

Edit: Sorry, heres the links Gmax and 3DS

3ds amx and gmax are best, you cant do squat in things like milkshape i use gmax but thas because i dont want to do warez and get 3ds amx 7 and i dont want to buy it. gmax is good, most of the things that you need for ce you can do in gmax and you can dl a .jms exporter for maps.

Gmax = Fugly version of 3ds 4.

In Gmax, you cannot render, which makes it useless.

3ds Max is the only thing acceptable if you wan't to show models you made, because it is much more advanced, and can render images. Screens of Gmax models are ugly.

But in reality it IS the same thing. And you can render with Xzzy's Maxscript (complex though). Also, Gmax is FREE.

I for some reason find 3dsmax much easier, could just be me.

And no you can not open a .max file in Gmax you can only open a .gmax.
