There are no animation tools, character tools or other special features. http://www3.autodesk.com/adsk/files/4370887_VIZ2005_Compare_All_v2.pdf

I use Max and it's a world unto its own!!! If you want to create life like images then there is nothing better than Max!!! But be prepared to spend a couple of yrs to master it!!! Max has'nt got the accuracy of vis!
