Thanks for the review CGISOUL.
The custom tab issue...I didnt feel the need to explain shelves, as I deemed anyone purchasing this tutorial not to be a beginner in Maya....it is not a beginners tutorial...especially Volume 3.
Glad you enjoyed it though

Hi Jay,
Merry Christmas!
Thank you for taking the time to read it. I hope you didn't take my review / words in the wrong direction. Overall, your tutorial is an excellent learning example and I myself learned quite a chunk.
As shown in the simplymaya page for Vol.1, it says is for Level: Beginner, therefore, I wrote my review from a beginner (as myself in Maya) perspective and my overall experience from watching Vol.1
I just finished watching Vol.2 last night and my image came out differently as I tried to learn and do a piece of my own at the same time. I still want to watch it over again before I write my review for Vol.2, but this time with different point of view as this is for level: Intermediate and a lot are not expected or assumed from a beginner level.
Once again, thank for making such an excellent videos and sharing your techniques.
I will keep you posted once I have my review up and experience with Vol.3 as I'm about to dive in soon.
Though I am not entirely happy with my displacement map as I find it quite hard, I will fix this and come up with a better map after the holidays. Still have to work on the tearducts too.
Here's my result from watching Vol.2

One thing is certainly for sure, your techniques can surely be translated for any future models.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Cheers.
