I’m new to UE4, I started a month ago and with it I started learning 3DS max not because I wanted to but because I had to, as you know Unreal has it’s limits in terms of modelling. It hasn’t been easy learning two new complex programs however this became so much better after I discovered 's tool, it’s like you said phenomenal!
And I haven’t even read his manual yet :)) I prefer learning by trial and error and find it quite fun “discovering” things still I’m printing it as we speak to make the best of it. Anyway I don’t need 3DS max as much and can focus on what I want to learn and that is UE4.
I’m also glad there’s good support on this forum.
