i had to comment, cause i want you to continue making videos on these topics...making models so that players like us get learn more. ty
I don't know who need this tip, but if you don't have a middle mouse button, but have thumb buttons on your mouse you can use Mouse X software change the middle mouse button to the thimb button.
It also faster because I don't have to take off my fingers from each button
If there is a text file or Excel file for a shortcut, I think many people can save time
Hell ya Tim!!
Hi Tim, Your Shortcut file is not working in 3ds max 2022 can you please upload .mnux file instead of .kbdx , Thank You.

idk why but my shorcuts are absolutely not the same and really not intuitive like in Maya ! instead i use the X magic button and research the tool fonction i need
Max's navigation legacy shortcuts are one of the great tragedies of 3D animation. Maya camera controls of ALT + LEFT/RIGHT/MIDDLE click make way more sense which is why all other packages adopted this control scheme. I always suggest switching to Maya navigation scheme for new Max users so you don't have to unfuck your brain when switching between other applications.
I've been using Max since before Maya existed. I'll pass.
it's almost like there's different viewport navigations for different dcc's... wow
@@SputniksArmy There's your head and there's the point flying over it. WOW! You're also wrong; most 3D DCCs use Maya camera navigation. Using a single modifier (alt) with all three mouse buttons is easier to memorize than CTRL-ALT-MMB combos. The Maya navigation scheme is also a better workflow as the hand you control your mouse with already has all fingers available whereas the Max scheme requires both fingers on CTRL-ALT which leads to unnecessary keyboard dancing with (presumably) your left hand. This is why pretty much ALL apps other than Max has adopted the Maya navigation scheme.
@@AdamMann3D Alias Wavefront was released in 1985 then Power Animator in 1990. 3D Studio for DOS was released in 1990. In fact, 3ds Max wasn't introduced until 1996 after 3D Studio was on version 4.0, which are two wholly different products. Maya still resembles Power Animator and therefore, your statement is factually incorrect.
@@sargonassarg4356 you use your left hand for hotkeys anyway, whats it matter if its used for camera nav? it seriously doesnt matter. I'm sure maya's superior in all other aspects too, right? The most cluttered UI on a spacebar hot key. it goes both ways bruh, dont get upset over a DCC.
Why would anyone choose 3ds over Maya? Maya seems better and more modern and easy to work on in every way
lol now its free lol
