Alright, since everyone (all of the web) has just great things to say about this place and about Maya.

Where do I start? Some of the tutorials I found here seem very advanced.

I am a complete beginning - Yes, I realize that there is more to being an animator than good with the software, but I (like many hobbyist) want to get my hands dirty.

Which tutorials should i start with? Links, please?

Any thoughts or suggestions for a complete newbie?
Thanks
