I know Stwert, it's a bit of a nightmare when you stumble over posts like that and I've posted a fair few over the past weeks I'm sorry:blush: Dave keeps reminding me it's a forum, not a writing contest for aspiring novelists I'm going through all the video content on sm at the moment, and I confess that when I get to the UV layout sections my mind tends to drift and all of a sudden I can multitask like mad. I must say that I as well did find it very confusing to figure out which app did what when I got started with Maya though, it's a bit of a jungle.

Good point about Zbrush and Mudbox, you'd definitly be able to dive in like you said and work more freeform which would also be a great way to get over that initial bump a bit easier. I'd love to learn it myself some day in the future, it looks interesting and like a lot of fun to work with.
