Learning Maya after knowing 3ds Max : Modeling (Udemy.com)

as an expert user of 3ds max, i changed jobs and needed a quick ramp up, and was always finding myself saying "in max there was this tool... i wonder where it is in maya". So I bought this wonderful course that bridged the gap between what I knew and how they approach it in maya. This was a game changer for me, highly recommended!

The course is a good introduction to Maya, but the title is a little misleading.
I was expecting a greater comparison between both 3ds max and Maya. Maybe showing both interfaces...
Having said that, the course is good and shows useful things.

20 years using 3ds Max for myself, and it got straight to the point of what I needed to know. Certainly more than enough to get up and running, and cleared up some misconceptions about Maya for me along the way.

This is a great way to get your feet wet with the most fundamental level Maya basics, but I would have liked a more in depth technical explanation to understand HOW Maya operates differently than 3ds Max. The content of this course is basically a super quick crash course on simple tools, but lacks the true translation that experienced 3ds Max users will need to understand what Maya is doing differently.

Makes the ui alot less scary

This is an intro to Maya tutorial NOT a 3DS Max conversion to Maya tutorial. At no point were any references to 3ds Max made in regard to functions and commands for experienced 3ds Max users. The modeling section didn't cover any major operations such as cut, bevel, connect, bridge or shell. My expectation was that there would be a transference of terminology between softwares, but there was none.

As an experienced Max user, I have long struggled with making the jump over while it is still an option for me and not a necessity (yet). This course helped remove the fear and is as advertised---straight to the point. Short, efficient videos that focus on all of the main points involved in game modelling. It's exactly what I was looking for in learning a new language to craft the same visual message. One point of small critique (very small) is that there are not any direct references to counterpart Max commands, although as a heavy Max user those things were all apparent to me as we went. But to satisfy my OCD, it would have been neat to see "hey, freeze transform is in Maya what Reset XForm is in Max" for example. But that should be irrelevant to immediate/advanced Max users, and is not enough to lower my rating. Thanks for the course!

Great tutorials and clear explanation. It's a very good course for someone who what to start learning Maya. But it's a little bit too basic for me. I wish there're more comparison between 3dsmax and Maya.

IT is a good overview of the software, but the title says "learning Maya after knowing 3dsMax, and in no lessons he talk about 3dsMax, just shows very fast attributes of Maya.

Super erklrt

Der Kurs ist gut geeignet fr Max User, die entsprechende Funktionen in Maya suchen mssen. Die Lektionen sind kurz gehalten und gut gegliedert. Ich wrde mir noch bungen zwischendurch wnschen und der Kurs knnte lnger sein.

Me gustara que se hubiese hecho un vistazo rpido por las herramientas ms usadas en MAX y dnde encontrarlas
