Maya 7 is from 2005 or 2006, dont remember, thats old man, where did you snatch that cd from. 2k8 extension 2 is the current version. I dont have it yet, have to get my producer to get me the license files. i like the extension for some modelling tools they have added. Hopefully in June i can get a hold on the upgrade. Btw From Modelling to polygon is not a big step, they release all the changes everytime, its not more then a few pages. Even with 2k8 they provide you with video`s showing the new stuff, how easy is that, it`s like the deliver you food on the table, you dont even need to step away from your desk.
