Maya uses more RAM than Max?

Anonymous
Not applicable

So I recently learned the basics of 3DS Max and Maya and I made the same scene in both of these applications to see which one I like more (turns out I like 3DS Max more so I will stick to that..)

 

But while I whas doing this, I noticed something weird:

Even though I made almost exactly the same scene in both programs (in Max I even made it a little bit complexer), during the rendering of Maya all 8GB of RAM that I have were in use and the render took about 3 hours. But in Max only 4GB RAM where in use and the render only took about 10 minutes...

 

I know that the longer rendering time in Maya is probably caused by not having enough memory, but I was wondering why it is that Maya uses that much more memory for the same (or even less complex) scene than Max uses?

 

Thank already!!

No, I used default render settings in both maya and max. (So that is scanline in max and maya software in maya)
