well i just signed up because this looks like a good place to go when I need help learing maya and general information. i'm in college now and learning game design and want to break into the industry or generally the computer industry as an 3d-modelor animator etc. What i like about it is that its not only limited to games but like pixar animation, movies and stuff. I also noticed that maya and photoshop are probably the 2 most important programs to master if i want to get in.

The current preferred applcation of Games Studios is 3D Studio Max, but most will accept Maya as an alternative.

Good to see ya back Acid44.

And ive NEVER used max.
