Have any of you tried to goober around with Maya before? I've been trying my hand at it lately and am learning a little (very little). Its kind of hard clicking back and forth between the work field and the tutorial screen. All the online tutorials seem to assume that you already have a firm grip on modeling and start with applications to add to an existing project. I've been playing with cubes, cylinders, and spheres but just the very basic stuff. Any tips or suggestions?
