The interface is also very customisable - you can put whatever function you wish onto a button, and then place that button in any position you wish (more or less). Everything you might want to do in 3D is possible with MAX. Texturing, Lens Flares, Volumetrics, Particles, IK, Physics calculations.......I could go on and on.
