Have you already learned the basics of how to model, unwrap, and bake out maps from 3ds max but now find yourself in a position where you either need to learn Maya for a new job, or to help out your resume for applying to video game studios that exclusively use Maya?
It can be hard feeling completely lost when you already know the fundamentals and the software is the thing that is getting in the way. Pulling your hair out because your speed and process have been thrown out the door. Knowing already that you know how to accomplish what it is your trying to achieve and getting no where.
Most tutorials for learning Maya are fundamentals video that are long and drawn out covering topics that you already understand, your just looking for the information on how to transfer the skills you already have from working in 3ds max. The amount of time you spend trying to scan through tons of beginner videos to understand some of the more advanced techinques you might be using are overlooked, or in some cases aren't even available in Maya. This becomes irritating and wastes your time.
