Both 3DSMax and Maya eventually ended up being bought by the same company (Autodesk), but they have very long separate histories and entirely different roots (Maya is coming out of the highend Silicon Graphics world and was mostly used in the movie industry, while 3DSMax was the "PC underdog" at the end of the 90's but has always been very popular for PC game development).
