Where are all the good 3DSMax Animation tutorials?
It would seem that Maya is superior when it comes to animation. I use 3Dsmax but I can not seem to find any proffesional tutorials for it. All I see in gnomon is maya, maya, maya and more maya animation tutorials. All I can see that 3Dsmax has is stuff like tutorialized which are beginner and not even related to games. I… -
Re: Where are all the good 3DSMax Animation tutorials?
It just feels like max isn't being given justice when it comes to proffesional game related animation tutorials, chad. I mean, look at Digital tutors. Thousands of maya tutorials and 500 max ones. No Max animation tutorials at all in gnomonworkshop yet amazing maya ones such as Animation fundementals. I'm clueless as to… -

I won't be the first to say this... the animation packages such as maya, xsi, and 3dsmax are easy to go back and forth with on the animation side. -Once you learn one of them. Both use dopesheets, both use a curve editor, and, minor changes in how things are keyed depending on the rigs.. When it comes down to it, you just… -

As others have stated, as an animator it's good to know rigging so you know how to talk with the rigger, but you generally won't be expected to create rigs unless you're working at a small studio or as a freelancer. I think it's fine to use someone else's rig, just make sure to say you only did the animation. Max's… -

If you just want to animate, then no, don't build your own rig as it will take a lot of time learning all the technical aspects of rigging (though knowing how things work 'under the hood' is very handy). Biped is an OK rig, it's just different then most rigs and thus you need to animate a little differently with it. I… -
Re: Where are all the good 3DSMax Animation tutorials?
Thank you, Eric : ) I have some prior experience with rigging and I'm looking to start up again. Do you also know of any animation focused tutorials? I mean, what you've linked there is great but it's mainly for a technical artists role with an animation focus. I was wondering but I forgot to ask one question. How do you… -
Re: Where are all the good 3DSMax Animation tutorials?
Is it completley useless? :O :( I mean... I watch a mythic developer video about animation for inspiration and the lead animator uses bipeds. Edit -Oh woah, never realised I was in the presence of an EA Mythic employee. -
Re: Where are all the good 3DSMax Animation tutorials?
Do you guys think that I should build my own rig and then animate it? I'm on page 126 of Animators survival guide and I've learnt quite alot ;P Alex, did you know someone called Jeremy Dale? Or was that at a different studio. I bookmarked your work for inspiration : ) -

Paul Neale has some good ones for animators. He's a long-time Max user. http://paulneale.com/tutorials.htm We use Max here for animation, along with the CAT rigging/animation plugin. Our animators do amazing work with it, but it all really comes down to their animation skill vs. their technical skill with the tool, like… -
Re: Where are all the good 3DSMax Animation tutorials?
Indeed he was : ) I was watching a video on him showing some of the Zealots anim's Pretty kickass work. And I actually do want to learn how to rig. It seems that most animators websites have atleast a couple of rigs showcases or even just the skill of rigging mentioned on there page. I'm setting out to understand the…
