Umm, no, no, and no. Maya, suck? No. You couldnt be any more wrong if you said a ferarri was a glorified soap box car. Maya is the top of the line doesnt get any better than this program. That's not opinion, that is fact. Don't get into blasphemy, it doesnt look good on you....Maya, just suck.

Also, Lisa it depends on how complex you want your creations to get. C4d is the easiest 3d program in the world however it doesnt have the best outcomes.I would have to say that C4d would be most useful for creating abstract sigs, because it is very simple to learn and you can have it done(sigs) quickly.

If a program is the best but you can't figure it out then it's not the best use whats the most comfortable and you will get better results(not always) I think that if it's overly complicated then it can kill your interest and creativity mainly if your a begginer. As for doing logo stuff I've done things with cinema 4d and photoshop really easy with good results but I think all of them will do the same thing you want in that area.
I'd also have to say that none are as good at character animation as motion builder, but you can use motion builder with all of these programs through the fbx format. Im not an expert but i hope that helps
PS. 3dsmax lets you use the motion builder technology inside of 3dsmax rather than going through two programs but it does'nt come with it you have to buy the plugin.(please correct me if im wrong)

Adobe Illustrator is best for high quality print work, but it's 2d and will set you back a hefty bundly of cash.Which is the best for logo design or printed media?

I am familiar with OpenFX, which is a very simple (as compared to Maya or the like) 3D modeler free on the web. I would like to do some short films in the future, so I need something I can grow into.
Any recomendations?

I hope you aren't inferring anything illegal, since that's not allowedI recently attained Adobe Illustrator (ignore the avoidance of the word 'bought')
I have no idea about film, what do the big boys use for cartoons?

talking about the best 1...
i use cinema 4d, it is not true that it is not able to do the more detailed thing, it runs quicker than ever even with my chunky zbrush models (20,000 poly+)
to get help for pretty much any of them check ot www.cgtalk.com
and it matters on what you like.
a talented cg artist could by an of the shelf 3d program for 120 and a begginer could by something like maya the talented guys stuff will still be far, far, far better than the begginer..
there is not enough difference between them to make direct "this is better" arguments.. the only one i use that is so different is zbrush. which is unbeatable for organic structures.
it really depends on which you get comfortable with... ime currently trying to learn one called modo, simply because it has something different with it..
what i use is vue5, cinema 4d and zbrush.. they suit me fine..
just pick 1
learn it....
and then your set.
it doesnt matter which is picked unless you want to do organics (humans, creatures) when the only really good choice is zbrush
hope my mumbling made sense
