Hmm maybe try some of the tutorials on this page, there are both free and some more comprehensive (is that how you spell it?) tutorials here.

You could watch the tutorial videos that come with Maya as well as look through the help files.

when you say tut vids are you talking abotu the like 6 that pop up? because i watched those, and all the help stuff is really dense


i was thinking about getting the book Introducing Maya 7: 3D modeling or whatever

worth it?

the maya 7 book by alias ..with the robot is really good . It helps you get the basics down

i really suggest the tutorials on this sight. i have the book but it is alot clearer when you see someone doing it and learning from that when you have issues, in my opinion ...

or do both ...then you have a grip on the basics and can go from there
