Hey VK
Thanks man. Yeah I do this sort of thing for a living. I create a 3d comic strip with 4 other dudes. We all use Maya. So im real lucky to do it at work all day then come home to hone my skills even more and do my own work.

Ive been doing art since I was a kid and have always been able to draw and the stuff for 3d, errrmI started in 97 using strata studio on the mac then I went to college and did a 2 month crash course using Max then got a job in 99 using Lightwave for 2 years, then me and a colleague saw Maya at version 2.5 and were blown away. So we got the boss to drop Lightwave and get Maya 3 and Ive been using that since so...here we are!!

Later
