Maya 2009 Unlimited, 3Ds Max Or Blender?

[Starpluck]

I have Maya 2009 Unlimited as well as 3Ds Max 2009.

I plan on creating models for Garry's Mod but I want to first ask, what do you recommend to create models in Garry's Mod. I heard 3Ds Max was more for games and Maya for artists. But I heard Blender is good as well.

Which one is better for creating models in Garry's Mod?

Thanks

I prefer Max over Maya, at least for starting. I couldn't find much help whatsoever figuring out how to convert maya model files to mdl. Max on the other hand, I got tons of support with it and got it down pretty quickly.

I know maya works just fine in making stuff for the source engine. There is a large deal of documentation for it on the valve developer wiki. Have you also considered using xsi (it's what valve uses).

I personally use blender, and it works perfectly fine too.
