   In my limited experience w/ Maya it became necessary to start thinking in nodes the more complex a scene got. That's all a scene is in Maya is a bunch of nodes. They think they're so cool those fucking nodes. Paint job on a stylized head:

Maya does this through expressions and the connection editor/material editor but max doesnt have that by default.
