    Hey guys i was browsing the net and i came across this

    http://www.paradigm.ie/

    I notice they do courses for 3d max and are doing discounts for unemployed people. Has anyone ever done a course with these guys?

    Also instead of starting a new thread. Can you guys recommend some training material for 3d max? Not just tutorials, proper indepth training.

    What do you want to do with 3DS max? It has a huge variety of applications and they seem to specialise in the architectural side of the things. If you're looking to get into architectural renderings etc then they'd probably be a good option (purely based on their site, I havent dealt with these guys). If you're looking to use the more artistic side of the program Id look for an alternative option.

    For what its worth I prefer Maya over 3DS max, however the advantage of Max is that its so widely used and therefor has the most resources available. Although it might not sound as professional learning your craft from youtube as opposed to formal training theres genuinely all you need to become extremely proficient in max freely available online, youtube, vimeo etc.

    Its also its most definately not an industry where your qualification or place of tuition makes the slightest bit of difference. Its simply about what you can do. Some of the best modellers, riggers and animators Ive seen have been self taught. Worth bearing in mind anyway.

    I've used Max since the beginning, with about five years of Maya as well.

    While Maya is my preferance its got to be far more difficult for the beginner than Max. Now that Autodesk owns Maya its been nice to see some of the modelling tools from Maya bening made available in Max.

    Really I'd have thought you could get all the knowledge you'd need from the tutorials out there. Its just a question of sticking with it and ploughing through.

    The other driver was cited by the police officer at the scene and his insurance paid for all my medical bills and property loss. However, he's not the one who was limping around for half a year. At least I wasn't seriously injured or killed. It was an accident, I hold no personal malice toward the other driver.

    Could be a spam thing. Anyway, lynda.com and Total training are an excellent resource that you could look at for training.
