Thanks starjsjswars, that helps!
NeoStrider - How am I supposed to learn, if I dont get Maya and the tutorials? Ive always had an interest in animation and movie making and I don't really give up easily, so I don't think shelling out the money for a previous version of Maya then upgrading to the latest version is the best option for me. And I'm using free tutorials provided from this site!
Yay, not a freshman anymore!
