I Feel Like a Traitor
 

I downloaded the 3ds Max Trial this morning. And to add on to the horror, I actually like it. Of course, its not Maya, but its pretty cool. I just don't like the Extrude Edge thing, its crap compared to Maya's Extrude Edge. Well... it seems a lot harder then Maya to learn. Do we have any Maya/Max users here that would like to give me some tips I would much appreciate it :)

ThAnKs In AdVaNcE :D

Have you checked out the Simplymax site to see if they have any free tutorials to get you started? If not it could be worth a look.

Well thing is I registered a name for that but never verified it through Email, and now I cant make a new one cuz it sais my email has already been used (duh, by me) and it just wont let me do anything :(

I was Max user a year ago...but I feel way more comfortable with Mayas arhitecture.

Try it and see the diference!

Very interesting... This is the main thing I have against Maya's Polygon editing tools...it's rather slow to keep using this tool instead of a simple Shift+drag (along with the absence of basic edge loop tools - but those are available through scripts). Anyway, I'm a Max user trying to learn Maya. If you're looking for specific sites with tutorials, I'd goto (though you probably already have)

www.3dtotal.com - and goto Free Stuff -> Tutorials -> max
www.3d-palace.com - and register and goto free tutorials and download some tutorials (this community is pretty good for max users)
www.3dlinks.com - and just do a search for some tutorials
and there are others, but these are the main ones that are of great immediate use, I think.

But I've seen you on CGTalk, just head over to the Max forums-> Tutorials forum

if you have any specific questions feel free to ask me.
