[Help - Other] Map development

[McSic]

Was inspired by the new creation event, what programs would any developer here recommend to start learning map development?

Heard of

3DSMax, Blender, Metasequioa

For GunZ you'd use 3ds max 2010 or GTK radiant. GTK radiant is what people used when they didn't have access to 3ds max 2010 - 3ds max 2010 is superior, but also harder to use.

The reason I'm saying 3ds max 2010 instead of a newer version is because the gunz plugins only work on 3ds max 2010. You can also find gunz plugins for 3ds max 2014, but I cannot confirm if they work.
