Re: Maya to 3ds Max tutorials/transition help?
In the past i remember using a transitional guide from 3dsmax to maya from alias website. This would help you. But I can't find this anymore. :( Take your time. Do not try to work the way you did in maya, you will be disappointed. Learn how max does things and you will find it at least as good. I highly recommend the… -
Maya to 3ds Max tutorials/transition help?
Hey everyone, so I started using XSI about 5 years ago then made the switch to maya about 4 years ago... I've never touched max except maybe twice. I have no idea how to use it at all and was wondering if anyone knew of any good basic tutorials to get me started or a website that could walk me through a transition or… -

Some really experienced users of both applications in other forums, and myself (with the experience of teaching for 4 years in college), would actually recommend against that while you begin to learn a new tool.

Re: Maya to 3ds Max tutorials/transition help?
yiannisk I'm not sure if your post was a reply to mine, but believe me I tried! If fact I used to be a max diehard up to version 4.2, but when I discovered Maya, it all changed. I was even told by Paul Neale exactly what you said in this first paragraph, I just don't like Max nav controls, Pior said it best :) And as far… -

Y: try switcher, really. No need to force oneself to use inferior navigation schemes when there is a better one out there. Max's default sucks and is RSI inducing (mmb pressed all the time). Maya's relies on a much lighter setup for your hands. Health > theory!
