    I have landed myself a new job that sounds like everything i want. Video(shooting and graphics), print, web and more with great attitude as well.
    I have been learning 3dmax for a while however this job needs skills in softimage and maya. I figure i have time to give myself a good grounding in one of them by the time i start (they know i havnt used them). Which do you recommend? Ill eventually be working in both but which is the quickest to get to grips with?

    Cheers
    Al

    Wow, sounds like a class job.

    Lucky git!

    Can't offer you any advice though. (o:

    Maybe see which of the two have those 3dbuzz tutorials?

    Id say Maya.

    although both companies offer training versions of thier software, Id so with maya. More people in the industry use it.

    It IS lower-end, but in the long run its a better decision...

    about learning... Maya is no easy task, but if your not too familiar with 3d software, it should be easier. It seems to be harder to "switch" software than starting from scratch.

    mayas greatest woe (imo) is the long rendering time...

    but NOTHING beats maya paint...

    If you're using Max from home and Maya from work don't worry about rendering times.There'll no doubt be a render farm set-up on the job.Also,look into what role you're taking with the company and which software you'll be using more often.If you already landed the job,then maybe just get the basics down.Learn how to navigate the UI on both apps.

    best suggestion I can give you is to go to 3dbuzz.com, and d/l his VTMs for both and decide for yourself. They are both fantastic packages, and which is easier to pick up really depends on personal preferance.
