I just got the 3dsmax demo, and I want to know where to get started. The only experience with 3D I have is ZBrush and Vue Infinite, and, of course, Vue sceneries and ZSphere modelling doesn't provide me with any starting point in 3dsmax.

I have only recently started with MAX myself and before that had only ever used Truespace and GMAX. Do what I did and go to google and type in 3d max tutorials and go from there. As there are many great tutorials out there that cover all aspects of using MAX from basic poly modelling to full on character creation and rigging. There are also many specific tutorials for the popular MAX plug-ins V-ray, Brazil and Mental-Ray (which comes with MAX from 7 upwards). I hope that helps you.

Theres a Max-specific forum on this site, I've never actually been there but I'd be surprised if there wasnt a thread with links to various Max tutorials. This particular forum is more foccused towards texturing (in any 3D package) but you wont find much info on the basics of anything but texturing here. Have a quick look around the site, it's pretty easy to find what you want, plus theres always the search feature. Good luck.

Do the ones that come with max first. They are very good.
