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.
