AI Thread Summary
Many users are exploring Maya but find the learning curve steep, especially when tutorials assume prior modeling knowledge. The challenge of switching between the work field and tutorial screens is a common frustration. Beginners are encouraged to focus on basic shapes like cubes, cylinders, and spheres to build foundational skills. Suggestions for improving the learning experience include using dual monitors for easier navigation and considering books for more structured guidance.

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?

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
