Do you already have Maya? If so, there are some tutorials and some really good information in the Help Files that are excellent for getting you started. And, as Joopson said, you can always ask questions and such on this site. There's a WIP section that you can post your works in progress and people will leave you all kinds of critiques and comments.

I'm not nearly as experienced as most but I believe that if you work hard at it and stay focused on your goal, you can achieve your dreams. Especially if you stay focused on what you're good at.

All the best wishes to you!

P.S. If you don't have money and are low on cash, you can download a free copy of Maya called "Maya PLE" from

https://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet...112&id=7639525

Edit: There's no time limit on the free version. You can use it indefinitely.

Don't be satisfied with what you can do but rather strive to do the things you can't do!
Exceed Expectations!

Just tell your problem, we are happy to help, aren't we guys ? user added image

I also started to learn Maya when I was 15, I read in a Magazine that Maya is the best 3D animation program, and I'm always for the best stuff user added image

so I started learning Maya.

By the way, I'm 17 and I gained some experience already in maya, I mostly learned by myself.

All the best, with kind regards, Ovi
