Blender Help

So I love 3ds max. I Love it. But Someone showed me Blender and said once I got to know how to use it 3ds max would be rubble. So I downloaded Blender 2.57. AND IM CONFUSED.

Building a house in 3ds max takes maybe ten minutes. i can't even get a foundation in Blender. If someone...anyone know of some tutorials (for even just the UI) that you could link me to I would be sooo in debt.

The interface is confusing...and the tutorials I have seen have older Blenders so the shortcuts are all different and the Interface works a different way.

PLEASE HELP

Well, I have been working on making templates for 3d max to make terrain.

I don't have blender...do you have 3d max?

I found that 1 square in terrain builder or terrain editor is 8.2 feet. When I get back to my computer I will post up a tile template for 3d max. Maybe it could help you. I don't have blender...do you have 3d max?

Now there is an issue of scale. Vehicles seem one tile wide is fine. so my 2 lane roads work, but the 4 lane road should be 4 wide, but 3 wide 4 lane throw things off. I made 4 wide 4 lane roads but that could be an issue for maps. buildings aren't scaled properly. Now going by my 1 cell being 8.2 ft by 8'2 ft a 3 by 3 building would be 24 ft by 24 ft. But for buildings I say a 3 by 3 building scale should be 48 by 48 placed on a 3 by 3 tile. Can you make sense of what I am sayiong?

whomever told you blender is better than max is a liar. You can achieve so much more in max if you're applied to it.

This is done in 3ds max. Probably one of the best models i've seen to date

Blenders really not a user friendly 3d program and can take some time to learn it's Interface and functions. However you can create some pretty amazing things with Blender once you learned how to use it. but lol, Blender is not in anyway better than 3dsmax and who ever told you that is crazy.

Blenders noob2pro tutorial is probably the best one to use for learning Blender. You can get it here

Oh wow that's awesome, man!! I'll never achieve that. I'm too obsessed with little tiny things.

I'm still not very good. My buildings never resemble buildings. They're so basic. and my UVs and textures are horrible :/

3D max tuts on various things

This plane is big, it was made to fit a 26 by 26 tile in tmp builder. but if you leave plane as it is you can make a building for a certain tile size for the game and not move the orthographic panels. The tile is 2550 inches by 2550 inches which I believe breaks down each tile being 8'2"
