I learned Maya first and I thought it was the greatest......until I started really using Soft image and that was it. I was sold. I have a hard time thinking about going back because I KNOW how clunky the workflow is. If I didnt know better I would be blissfully ignorant. Anyways to answer your question. I always thought the Gnomon Maya tutorals were always the best. Digital Tutors are good but I find very basic. I would HIGHLY recommend you get Jason Schleifer Rigging Bundle
Rigging in Maya vol 1 and 2 Even though its about riggin you will learn so much about Maya under the hood. Say good bye to Gator and Motor and ICE if you make the transition. :/ On Thu, Feb 27, 2014 at 7:51 PM, Massimo Galluzzo < mass...@massimogalluzzo.it> wrote: > Hey, just curious here, since i'm ready loads of posts that speaks > about SI2015 being last release. > Where did this info spilled from?
