Know 3dsmax? Want to Learn Maya?

Mark Dygert

Bradley "Professor Poly" Wascher put together a series of lectures for Max users looking to learn Maya.

"Hey guys, I just wanted to share with you a video tutorial class I created for learning Maya if you already know 3ds max. If you need to learn Maya for a new job or just a student that is trying to get ahead of the curve this video series should get you up to speed quick. 

Polycount has been a great resource to me through out the years so I've created a discount code "polycount" for anyone that wants to pick it up on the cheap. If you guys have any feedback or want to see more tutorials like this let me know. Thanks! "

After the polycount discount it works out to about $20. Quite a few polycounters have switched back and forth over the years and it's always a cobbled together nightmare. This hits the nail on the head for Max users looking to learn Maya. For $20 you can stop sifting through all of the noobish youtube tutorials put together by people who shouldn't be making tutorials and get the info you need, when you need it. Not a bad deal for life time access, even if you're a Maya user you might want to check it out, there are typically some hidden gems in these types of things that you never knew about.

Check out the course HERE.

We are talking about it HERE.

I started with Max and so using Maya feels completely ass-backwards. I might check this out, thanks!

Very cool, I'll probably check it out. I often try to switch to Maya but it's such a fight every time.

This looks like a great opportunity I'm currently Zbrush+max, and I see a lot of Jobs asking for Maya as a Pre, would be great to get to know the basics!

This is so smart. I've been waiting too long for those kind of tutorials.

Hey guys!,

I'm actually the dude that created this and I just wanted everyone to know if there is anything that is missing or you were confused about, please don't hesitate to ask me. I plan to be updating this course as new questions arise. I found myself a little over a year ago having to make the switch professionally at my new studio to Maya and it seemed so impossible, so I created this series to help kind of show you the light haha. Anyways I wanted to give a big thank you to Polycount for featuring this in the news sections. Thanks guys!

This is awesome, I'm definitely going to do this. I know its possible to learn Maya from Max if you've got a digital tutors subscription, my friend did it... however this looks like a much more streamline and solid way of doing it. Thanks for this Bradley! I'm gonna need to learn Maya for school so this is perfect for me

This is exactly what I'm looking for, only reversed. Anybody know of a good maya to max tut?

BradleyWascher

I already have the Maya to Max Tutorial in the Pipeline if anyone is interested. I should have it up and running within a week. Ill keep everyone in the loop when it launches.

This is really great!!

I'm definitely interested in the Maya to Max tutorial as well, would love to get an update when it launches.

Also, just curious what defines, "noobish youtube tutorials put together by people who shouldn’t be making tutorials". I'm just hoping I'm not one of those people.

This is literally the best thing I've seen on the internet all year.
Couldn't have come at a better time!

Small Update for anyone interested, I added two new videos tonight just to flesh a few things out that I wanted to add. Also udemy does its own sales for black Friday so right now I think you can get my course super cheap, so go for it haha.
