3D Max Thinking

I think that 3D studio max is a must learn for any game developer, it's not the art it's thinking in a way that helps you program

Indeed...

How's learning 3dmax help you program? Maybe knowing what everything in the fileformat is... but?

E.g. using movers and dynamic lights some time you can get lost in the code

Perhaps it can be of assistance to you, but it's not something you *have* to learn.. I can program games, but I can't (and won't) work with 3D Studio MAX (despite having a legal copy of v4).

You don't *have* to learn it but it's helpful (For beginers in 3D enviroments, Wireframes etc). You propulble don't have a Legal Copy of V4 with a 4k price tag and the student veersion at version 3.45
