Me and you flipflop one day we show all these gurus!! lolol user added image user added image

My learning method that has really paid off has been:

(1) Go through some sort of Maya Basics CD set (I can recommend one)
(2) Go through the CD lessons
(3) Experiment with what you learned
(4) Go through the CD lessons again
(6) Download a tutorial off SimplyMaya
(7) Play around with what you've learned so far
(8) do number (6) and (7) over and over and over... ad infinitum

My problem is the next step:

(9) set yourself a project that you'd be happy spending time on and keep going at it until you are happy.
