How big is the learning curve going from

[Dguarcello]

using Autodesk Viz 4 (light use, just texturing and lighting - FOR NOW) to 3Dstudio Max 7??? Is there a similar/same function to the File Link Manager to import dwg's? Anything else to be aware of?

Thanks in advance

It's a pretty easy leaning curve, if you're just in it for the basic functions. File Link Manager works, your old Viz models can be imported and you can use pretty much the same texturing and lighting methods. The interface is a bit different but we're talking a few hours of learning. Of course, the advanced stuff is much more advanced, but it's also much more fun.
