I don’t have max installed now, so I can’t check that from this particular model. In blender this is done easily, just by clicking lock X(y, z) rotation for selected bone/armature. I remember that I have IK rig build for mech’s legs, so there must be same option somewhere in max’s bone/armature menus.

Do you know a location of some good blender tutorials? I just downloaded it and at first glance it seems drastically different from max (max 8 to be exact). So, I feel totally lost. Any help is appreciated!

2.49b or 2.5? There are lot of updates and GUI changes between those versions.

Some tutorial can be found from blender.org

And other places:
blenderguru.com
blenderartists.org

Many of those are for 2.4x… But I’ll still think that is better start with 2.5 and new GUI.

I just now noticed the 2.54 beta download off the the left. Of course after I spent an hour with an intro tutorial with the old GUI.

This GUI looks exactly like the one from Softimage. Am I crazy?

I also take it that it would be a good idea to take the time to really learn blender considering it's free. I assume lots of people use it because it's a real quality free 3d program. I just wanna make mechs all day and I don't have the right program to do it!
