I knew that this statement would start quick answers.
The great thing about 3DSMAX is that its modelling capabilities allow
almost anything.
In my opinion ( and that's mine only), only Rhino does better.
Of course it's all a question of how well you know the deepest recesses
of the modeller/software.
Maya is said to be good as well, but it's a lot harder to master.

But when it comes to render quality, I still think that POV ( and Megapov
with its new features : photons & isosurfaces ~~shaders a la BMRT) is
better for still pictures.
3DSMAX is great for animation.
