Ive assumed for a while that careers or jobs in the 3dgfx field are reserved for the top dogs, the bad boys of maya and 3dsmax. it's not like with photoshop or illustrator where you can wing it with a small amount of knowledge or experience. nope, productions demand the best. and the best have been at it for years.

so what then, can maya offer a noob. someone interested in maya but not really able to invest billions of dollars and time in to it? maya isnt like photoshop where you can learn a little and apply it to a hundred times more things than you could with maya.

because just to get a working knowledge of modeling in maya requires a big investment of time and effort. you cant learn maya on your own. you need guidance.

so what can maya do for me? is that a retarded question?
