Mikey baby, one thing I forgot to ask. When you were job hunting you found it hard - right? - Now you only use Maya for you 3D work - right? - Well, in my research into games jobs in the UK, I might add, the majority of positions are for people who have skills in 3DS Max not so many Mayans and hardly any Lightwavers.

What I wanted to know was if you found that it was harder still in your search since you only know Maya? Would you have got there quicker if you had the same skills in Max? Max seems to still be the dominant games tool and it helps if you know character studio as well.

Comments from actual people in the games industry, apart from Mike, would be appreciated

Thanks
