(starting with navigation) I usually spend about a week learning the interface. And that is I usually take it very slow and crack open the manual or get a very good tutorial on the interface. Even a stint using Houdini.Īnd so the best thing I can give you is my approach to the transition phase from one software to the next, since I have done it several times. And of course I have had to learn both Unreal and Unity. Especially since, before Blender I was using LightWave. Second to that, the workflow in Max seemed completely different and the interface was also completely different and convoluted from either Blender or Maya.Īnd my experience was I was proficient in Blender first, and then Softimage and then Maya. And that is the first thing that usually gets me confused. The man take away for me as a person who was proficient in Blender and Maya was that 3D Max navigation was totally different. So I have opened 3D Max on a few occasions. And we were going from Blender - fbx - to Max.

And the fact that I do own 3D Max and I had a client of my studio that required a project delivered to Max and I had an artist who primarily worked in 3D Max at my studio for a while. So I will not be able to help directly with 3D Max, but you did mention also Maya.
