Autodesk 3ds max? Confused!

[Cobalt Gamer]

Okay, here's the deal. I have recently taken up a games design course and today we used 3ds Max, I have no idea what's going on, I joined the course a little late, I've read the help sources and it's all gibberish, can anyone help me?

Oh wow, I haven't used Autodesk in many years... and even then, it was the Maya software. Sorry man, I'd gladly help if I could.

Some video tutorials here covering lots of various topics though i havent used the program myself.

Thanks guys, and to Gikoku, Apparently we're going to be using Maya next year but I'm unsure atm. It's all just very confusing for me who has never really bothered with 3d design ect, I prefer to write then design.

I liked using zbrush when starting out, it's simpler than maya or 3dsm but it's pretty good still. You'll need to use maya or 3dsm for adding the render details, (hairs, skin etc)
