This sounds really cool if it did happen, my main intrest are modeling & also texturing to give it life.

I like the idea of working hands on with maya on a computer while going along with the instructor. Thats the way for me. I can't learn the same way from reading books, notes *yuck*

Not as effective as real time/interactive.

Wonder where the main locations would be decided.

Im also near San Jose CA, in between there and San Francisco.
