i dont think i realy get where this is going but i like to add. I've been fooling around with maya for half a year now, bought some tutorials, tried some stuff and messed some more about. Yesterday I watched a 4 hour tutorial about the basics of maya which explained the UserInterface of maya, using Mel, assigning your own hotkeys, making a customshelf, realy explaining the program itself. I thought i got the basics down but apparently i didn't because a lot of functions and options where new to me. And I learned to navigate through maya a whole lot quicker. My point beeing not only with maya but with a lot of stuff in general is that you are never done learning and you should never think you are. Jeeeej beer.
