Which 3D App Gives You What You See...

... or at least comes the closest to giving you what you see in your modeller?

i've been going over the docs from a few apps, and it looks as if 3DSMAX and Maya look like they come closest... what about Truespace and Milkshape, how do they fair...

also, does the 3D development environment have to have a plugin of sorts to facilitate this... and if so, where does that leave Blitz3D?
