Kova,
They are both great programmes but max is quite complex, if you don't have too much experience or you haven't got Max yet, check out the links page (see above white text link)for these three programmes, Milkshape (exports to b3d), CharacterFX (for animating your characters in case you don't have Character Studio with Max) and the all important Ultimate Unwrap (a programme which allows incredible texuture control).
You'll find some excellent tutorials on Psionics web site and Robs 3d help pages (also found in links above). Other than that, check out 3D cafe for some character and texturing tutorials, Scarcrow's are very good as I remember.
You'll also need a programme to record and edit sound and one for music too I'd guess.
If you look around the archives you may find a couple of bits of bb code to make great looking fonts for RPG's too, as well as tiling terrain in 3d, which would be good for very large expanses of land.
You may like to try out "Freeworld" which is an online RPG with multiple players all playing together - online. Great fun.
Good luck,
IPete2.
Good luck with the project!
