First post. Meh. Hello, and stuff Starting this thread to work out ideas, and post updates, on my July/Aug entry. This will actually be my first attempt at a completed project of *any* kind in Maya, plus there's not much time left 'til the deadline! Yikes! Well, even though it's my first ever 'real' Maya project, I *really* hope to be able to enter the "Normal"-level contest, as I *really* want a tablet! I have a few ideas already, but I don't want to let the cat outta the bag too soon...I'll run through a few proof-of-concept setups first, to see which I like best. Then I'll start updating on progress. Good luck to everyone! (but especially ME! ) Doc Hogan
