Kurt- Tanks for getting back with me. I am in the process of ordering a ton of tutorials that range from versions of Maya is what I was told. The reason why I ask him to do so is because I am so new at this, and I know that I will run into problems with scripting and others things that I am not aware of. Please read down, the person that I asked to check this out for me, has responded to my request before I purchase, but please read down,,,,, Here is what I was told> Tutorials were done in Maya versions 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 8.5 with all service packs when available. There are no major differences between versions, although some tools have moved position/changed name from the very early version to the latter versions. Plus a few tweaks in the user interface. The only real issue between versions is the scripting support (if used in modeling) which may cause a few issues. Nearly all the tutorials on Simplymaya are done by Kurt who is very active on the site. Kurt can I depend on your help please sir when i get stuck? Thanks, Savnac
