Heya Nobbie.
I re-checked Alias website, it seems they have some handy new updates. At least new from the last time I checked. They got a handy chart on the similarities of functions\functions names between programs. Ie: 3ds Max to Maya.
>Maya is now the "mainstream" application of the future.
That's what it looks like to me too, at least from reading all the various want ads and post grad courses. More and more I see "Knowledge of Maya not required, but definitely wouldn't hurt."
>Yes, you will, because Maya has a flexible, node-based approach to doing things that is different from 3ds max's less flexible, object-oriented approach.
Ok you have to excuse my ignorance here. What does "node based" mean?
