there seems a bit of a fable going around the film makers circut here that animators and modellers are snobs who keep their knowledge and secrets (?) close to their chest.

this is coming from the local production houses,obviously not the animation houses, that we're a bunch of snobs.

anybody heard this before.

personaly, I'm usually very generous with information and willing to share but with Maya, it is the first time I have kept something like this (guitar, drawing, audio and sound apps, ect) to myself. If someone showd a genuine interest i might show them a few tricks but after 12 months at loosely 4 hours a day on Maya I'm to willing to jus teach anyone, not to mention I feel it may risk a job in the future?? stupid thinking but i can't help it. 3D is so relatively new here with not a lot of expertise, generally the TV commercials look like tuts that have been reveamped, so I figure another year or so and i might be in with a chance.

so what do you reckon, do we keep it between ourselves or are we the sharing kind??
