3ds max is regarded to be the best with hard surface due to its more advanced modelling tools.

Arrimus3D is a great 3dsmax youtuber who specialises in just this. He even started doing blender vids lately

Great, I've been software hopping all the time and looking to settle down with one recently. I'll look into max.

Try HardOps + Boxcutter add-on for Blender, which is unique compared to other software because of its non-destructive workflow. There's a pretty steep learning curve, but the dev has a bunch of tutorial/timelapse videos on his YT channel that makes it much easier.

Zbrush is the one I use

I only use it for organic sculpting.

I wish autodesk would copy some of the zmodeler features, the one time I've tried it out it was so damn intuitive to do stuff with it (only with retarded zbrush controls)

my poly modelling progression was blender -> zmodeler -> maya and I was genuinely disgusted to find a lot of stuff is somehow slower in maya than doing it in zmodeler.

The zbrush gizmo controls, interactive elevation on multiple edge loops and qmesh should just be in every software though, also polygroups (zen sets for blender does it).

What's annoying is autodesk copied qmesh for max but not maya.

Modo. There's no substitute.

Is it true that if you pirate Modo you'll get an email accusing you of piracy?

Can someone link a guide to a good hard surface workflow in zbrush for creating robots and guns and that sort of thing?

The Foundry goes after companies, not individuals.
