I too looked for free tuts on Maya and found this place, but left it alone for almost a year - then a friend at uni (Rosstoons - I think was his name on here) said that he had some good advise from here and when I came back I found my user name was taken - thinking that was odd I tried my old password and I was able to login - been in and out ever since - mostly for the Challenge (speaking of which where is the new one). Looking for a big come back in the next few weeks.
