Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

That's not to say that great things haven't been done in those packages, even large, professional productions. It's just that Maya makes customization and development much simpler -- unlike 3DS Max, for example, plug-in development is infrequently something you have to do because MEL is better integrated into the package than MAXscript.

1. Spend time with only one program when you are a beginner, because it takes a lot of concentration to learn a complex piece of software, especially if you are unfamiliar with the subject matter.
2. As you get comfortable with the ONE piece of software, look around at others and "dink" with them to see noticable differences and similarities.
If you have played with 3d software before, explore more than one....If you are new, stick with one...at least for a little while...
-just my 2 cents.

Incidentally, if your interest is effects animation then you really should learn Houdini as well as Maya. They're as different from each other as it's possible to be, and everything else will make more sense if you've touched both.
