Im new to these forums so hi.

I bought some points and all that and plan on a great time learning ''character modeling'' in maya..

..I say ''character modeling'' like that because I work as a 3d architectural designer using 3DMax and Vray.

I like organic modeling, and while I love Max, it seems to me that there are far more tutorials and resources out there for Maya than Max.. and it seems also that Maya is used for that genre of modeling more so.

So I guess since I have a job using one program and Max is a very great program for architectural modeling (afterall, its Autodesk), I will use Maya for all the organic modeling.

I do find it a bit difficult to learn since Ive used Max, but its nothing I can't figure out.

But to add to the thread, its a pointless argument. Both are great programs for what I see, so choose one at first and learn it for what you're trying to get into. After you become a ''master'' at one, then learn the other. Learning both at the same time takes away all concentration and time with one.

O well. Cheers and thx for a pretty cool site.
