3ds max practice

Now I'm going through 3Ds max tutorials. 3Ds max is supposed to be more intuitive than maya but I'm having a little trouble with it because I'm so used to maya! Weirdly you need to convert between polygons and nurbs all the time(at least that's what it seems like).

Maybe its because I didn't have a tutorial that really explained why the work flow is this way(here it is); https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6bAbYf60AE

Today I made a pokeball(sort of stuffed up the material so yeah....)

I feel confident enough learning it as it still seems pretty similar to maya. I thought I would learn this software because I noticed a couple of architectual visualisation jobs have popped up here and there in Wellington and I've heard that 3Ds max is the software most commonly used for this.
