Before comparing the differences between them, we need to have a look at the design sketches of the sketchup and 3ds max

Render view for sketchup (helicopter platform made in assignment 1)
Render view for 3DS MAX (architecture design sketch from website http://image.baidu.com/i?ct=503316480&z=0&tn=baiduimagedetail&word=3DS%CA%D2%CD%E2%CD%BC&in=32151&cl=2&cm=1&sc=0&lm=-1&pn=92&rn=1&di=10640506080&ln=2000&fr=&ic=0&s=0BC&in=32151&cl=2&cm=1&sc=0&lm=-1&pn=92&rn=1&di=10640506080&ln=2000&fr=&ic=0&s=0)
Comparing the two render views above, 3ds max has a better performance in terms of the realistic effect, however, considering 3ds max requires a whole night or longer to render a high quality image, the sketchup is more efficient as it can store images immediately
Now let's see what the render view is like when we import the model into the sandbox2

we can clearly see that Crysis sandbox2 has almost perfect demonstration of the image and the interior environment, we can even add people, planes and trains for reference. The model looks more convincing in this way.

In addition, you can control the player in the game and send the character around the model and perform various of actions in Crysis sandbox2.
The video shows how to import the items created in 3ds max into Crysis sandbox
