It's a silver tutorial.

As a former employee I have access to the software and downloads.

I must say I am disappointed that Alias has made tutorials part of the 3 tier service model. I am hoping they will abandon this practice and once again offer the tutorials to anyone that wants to learn 3D modeling with Maya.

I was a big propoent of the learning editions of the software and I feel to offer the learning edition of the package and then restrict access to tutorials is a bad idea and will only upset potential customers and drive them to other packages.

I really have a deep hatred for all marketing and business major types and truely wish for all the souless bastages to rot in the flames of hell for all eternity. But that is just my humble opinion.
