3D Studio Max 8/Mac Animation Studios

Question

3D Studio Max 8/Mac Animation Studios

I didn't know where else to put this cause it doesn't fit in most of these forums but I can't find an Animation program for the Mac OS X. I know there is 3D Studio Max 8 for Windows but what about for Mac?

MacBook Pro 17-inch 2.16 Intel Core Duo, Mac OS X (10.4.7), 2GB 667 DDR2 - 2x1GB SO-DIMMs, 100GB Serial ATA drive @ 7200 rpm, ATI 256MB

What is the one that is used the most by mac users? Like with Windows XP, 3D Studio Max is used the most for XP users.

To say that 3d max is mostly used by windows is coming from what perspective? Depending on what industry your talking about,Maya, lightwave and Softimage all have huge user bases.

On the mac, Cinema 4d, lightwave and Maya are the most popular, but then again, depends what you are trying to do.

So what if you're interested in creating rooms? Like with furniture, decor, etc?

What about character animation?
