I started to learn 3ds MAX. What are some good resources? I am looking for forums (like this one just for 3ds MAX), YouTube, Blogs, Websites.
Also same for After Effects.

Sorry I did not see this thread was moved to this section. i was trying to find this but did not know where it got lost 
here are 2 more great resources:
http://www.3dtotal.com/
http://www.cgindia.org/
regarding escalight yeah its down for sometime for some unknown reason, the admin of the website is my friend so i’ll ask him ‘when it would be back online’. i am guessing it might be due to a financial problem. too bad coz that was an excellent resources with ton s of text based tutorials which are life saver to people with slow internet who don’t have access to vid tuts.
