I too am interested in this, but perhaps on a more generic level. I know I asked this before but is there a UI config or preferences config out there somewhere that closely matches (i know it won't be perfect) Maya's way of doing things?
I realize that it's best to learn the software, but I don't even know where to begin. I'm trying to do the same level of work in Max that I've been doing in Maya and it's frustrating. It's like trying to run, same concepts are there, but you keep tripping over your legs (software).
