Say, what do you guys suggest I use for making Movies (like CG's) for my game. Do I use the same thing I use for my s and characters like GMAX? Or is there something else, easier.

'Easier' has no place in your question.

Truespace 4 only $79 offer expires today!
(Personally I'd go with TS5.2, oh wait! I already have it )

I think people should stop posting whatever software they happen to use when people ask about modelling software. Especially if you havent tried much else.

The always correct answer is to use whichever software works best for you.

Of course, that means that I'd use DoGA CGA L3 for making movies.

Seriously, if you made your models in GMAX, you'll need to find an external solution for your CG needs. What kind of animation do you need to do? trueSpace is a handy, once you get past the user interface. The same can be said for Blender. I'd suggest DoGA, but importing models is rather tricky. However, it does have some nice cel shading materials and a reasonable price, if that is your thing. [While DoGA CGA is free to download and great for game modelling, you'd need to register it to make movies or sequential stills.]

For future reference, I've used Anim8tor, trueSpace, POV Ray, Animation Master, DoGA CGA, Blender, and a horde of other programs for modelling, graphics, and animation.

If you made your models in GMax, you're asking to be sued. The license expressly forbids using anything you create in any form other than in one of the Discreet Licensed games such as Quake 3.
