why even bother learning max when blender is free 🤷‍♂️

Check out Paul Neal for procedural modeling. His channel changed my whole workflow. Also, bookmark that 3dsmaxtutorial.com site, it's gonna be your best friend for the next few months.

help how do i rotate view??? tutorial says alt+middle mouse but nothing happens 😭

Been teaching Max for 5 years. Don't worry about tutorials being "outdated" - core modeling principles haven't changed since like 2010. Focus on understanding the modifier stack and Edit Poly fundamentals. That's 80% of what you need. Jonas Noel has great material tutorials when you're ready for that stage.

can anyone just send me finished project?? deadline tomorrow 😅

Digital Tutors used to be amazing but since PluralSight bought them quality dropped. I'd honestly recommend Grant Warwick's master classes if you can find them, not sure if they are still available.

Thanks everyone! Started with Arrimus3D and already feeling less lost. Those viewport navigation tips were lifesaving!
