That would take me a long time to create a tutorial and I don't really have any free time at the moment sorry I wish I could help. The essentials are the same really. Blender and Max might have different hot-keys and everything but if you can operate in Blender you should be able to follow the tutorial. at least the modelling bit
However, a pro-tip: When animating something in this fashion (i.e., vertical, as in a person), could you crop the rendered animation viewport so that you don't include quite so much black-space on each side? This should cut down on image load times, as well as making it so that viewers don't have to slide scroll-bars (or at least, not so far).
Beyond that, I love what you are doing with the Joan of Arc concept. Eagerly awaiting more....
Thanks a lot for the tip! I was thinking of the same kinda thing when I was creating the render but I did not know if a video playback program would like a video in say 32x640 resolution. I'm probably wrong but I think I heard somewhere that for video renders or turnaround videos you should render a frame at aspect ratio similar to that of usual video formats (640x480, 800X600 or HD). Like I said I'm probably mistaken I will try to render my next turnaround vid with black parts cropped

I once started that tutorial, but only finished modelling the body/face and the sword
