Maya Toolbelt
Just wanted to let you guys know that I've started a YouTube channel where I'll be posting a series of Maya tutorials called The Maya Toolbelt. I don't think I'd be stepping on any toes here at SimplyMaya as my tutorials are all tool-based and SM's lessons are mostly project-oriented, from what I can tell.
I've only got a hand-full of videos up so far, but my goal is at least one a week. The long-term goal is to have a video going over *every* tool and command in Maya. Looooong way to go, but I hope you guys might check them out!
Definitely let me know if you have any suggestions as well, and I hope you subscribe and watch!

Just wondering what verson of Maya you are using as I have 2014/2015 and your menus are very different. With this tool as a main point there is now a "Crease set editor" to keep a much better grouping of the creases (see screen grab) Only saying as these tips are great but dont want them to be sort of out dated straight away.
Many thanks again

Tweetytunes brought up a very serious point about my videos being out of date the moment they are posted due to my Maya license being 2011 and stuck in the past. Well, I was thinking that the only way I can see solving that issue would be a Kickstarter campaign to raise the funds! But I wanted to get some feedback, so I'm posting this here to ask you what you guys think. This link just leads to a preview of the Kickstarter that I'm still working on.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...token=e14e7d37
I'd be very interested in your feedback and what you think of the rewards.
Thanks a ton!
