I can't find one decent tutorial on how to make a texture look realistic in 3ds max. How can I do it? Can you tell me the way you do it or point me in the right direction?

Can Video Post of 3DSMax render only 100 frames at a time? Is there a way to render more than 100 frames at a time using Video Post effects? Kindly advice!

I am deciding whether to get AutoDesk Maya or AutoDesk 3ds Max for 3d modeling and animation but i don't know which is better, and which is easier to use. Help please.
Thanks
