which one is more easy to learn ??or powerful?

It really depends on the people who is using it.
Some say maya is better,
some say max is easier,
so why don't you try both of them and make your decision???

Chosing Maya or Max really depends on the person who use.
Some perfer Maya as it is a little bit more powerful and common in CG industries.
Some prefer Max due to its various 'free of charge Plug-in', ease of use and costing.
For me, I think Maya is pretty difficult to be used, not even think about how to master it.
Thinking about the usage, when U're making CG for web use, why not using the Plasma in Discreet Product, something like Max but biased to web usage. The final cost can also be cut.
But when U're looking for beauty and reality, then just stick to Maya or XSI.(Default renderer)

No matter which software u choose, just go for it and study VERY hard on it. After you can master one software, in case you need to switch to another one (maybe due to the company you work for....), it will be just a piece of cake.

So..... learn the "background theory" of modeling, materials, lighting, animations...... of one software instead of just learn which button has which function....

Enjoy 3D!
