hey fishy, there’s really no need (as far as i know) to use both maya and 3dsmax… both are top level programs and technically you can do pretty much all the same stuff with both… but then again, i don’t really know about 3d programs 😛 Stuart ---

well, i want to know as much as possible… =) because if you want to start at a gamingfirm, and only have experiences with 3dsmax, that wont be that good… but i’m concentrating on maya ---

true dat, more exp is always better i guess 😛 not my thousands of dollars you’re spending but perhaps it’s better to be REALLY good with one, than fairly good at 2? maybe it’d be fairly similar, learning 3ds after maya wouldn’t be as hard… go for it! ---

that reflection your talking about is acheived by using an image for your light to be shined through… in this case the image would have wavy lines in all directions (black and white) - at least this is how you do it in 3d studio max. hope this helps mariofan ---

its good to know both 3dsmax and maya because you dont know where you’d be working if you’re planning to go to a studio. most doing games and things like that use 3dsmax, as higher scale jobs like movies use maya. i use c4d because its cheaper (i dont have the money for a 10 thousand dollar program) and its the closest to maya you’ll get. ---

I could name half a dozen games that used max as their primary modelling tool (Half-Life and Morrowind are my fav’s). Of course, I’m a max fan… I might be a little biased. Nice pic for a first try… keep at it!
