Back in the day, almost anything major. The one I liked using was Lightwave. When it was finally ported to the MAC (I still had a mac), it was nightmare and I still don't know if they've got it right to this day. Plugins were non-existent, and the hardware was not as fast as my PC and more expensive also. Lose, lose every way you cut it.
Nowadays I use XSI...not available for MAC.
I don't use MAYA, but that's a MAJOR 3d app, and they just got around to porting it over recently. Whenever I talk to 3d guys who use MAC, they're always like "oh, we don't have that for a MAC", or "when will they write that plugin for the MAC, or make a mac version".
I'm not saying there's no 3D software for macintosh, it's just always lagged behind PC in that area. From someone who has years of first-hand (and tons of second-hand) knowledge on this fact, it's not even debatable -- it's just a known thing in the 3D community.
