Hey, this is just for people to spit ideas at me. I just got Maya and i have no clue really what does what or what is cool to do, etc etc. So, if you would like, you can speak freely about anything you think i should try to learn. Thanks , Flip. ((Flipside of the brain)) user added image

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. When I bought the program I knew it did stuff like spiderman and i have wanted to do this stuff since i was a kid, and i was afraid at first that I wouldnt be able to use it. Then all my money goes to waste , finally I decided I needed it, so i got it and now it is so far so good. You guys have any cool ideas that I can try and model?

Comps are the month modeling competitions that we have here.

The VIP area isn't empty. There some free videos there, as well as for-pay videos.

Maya is just a tool for an artist to create art... if you do not see yourself as much of an artist, you might have some slow going at first. Try not to rely on others for ideas.
