This thread will probably get closed down. Comparison threads are frowned upon here. Though I am not a user myself, I will say that: Blender is quite full featured. It is the absolute best that you’ll get for nothing. However, in spite of what it can do, it is not what one would all “industry standard” and is eclipsed by the bigger names - for various reasons, some of which have nothing to do with feature set. Blender is also complex for n00bs, despite having being recently revised with v2.5. My suggestion to you is to read the docs, check the galleries, watch the short films, download the book, play with it, & draw your own conclusions.

pros: free, fully capable (just watch their latest showreel).
cons: not fully supported by famous renderer / plug-ins / game engines / etc. so it’s harder to get things done.

if you’re hobbyist, and no plan to go serious, quite good.

if you’re student, maya and max is free, and good to be skilled at when graduate.

i might be bashed for saying above, but I own all (being a student), and i decided to focus on blender just for fun, since i don’t see myself in CGI.
