Very Nice Tut happymat27! user added image

Wish you had narrated it though. user added image

Most intresting thing about it for me was the work flow for Maya 8.0. Makes me want to get it, but I still don't fancy it being from Autode$k. I'm still happy with my maya 6.5.

My dulcit tones definately accompany the video, did you get no soundtrack THX1138? I'm not sure what happened there.

Making the tutorial was a bit of a learning experience for me too. I use hotkeys and marking menus for pretty much everything but they don't really show the viewer where to find commands so I decided to use the dropdown menus, you'd hear me getting a bit baffled by them if the sound was working.

Take it easy,

Mat

For some reason there was no sound when I first viewed it, and I even tested it on some other players and still no sound. So I restarted my PC and played it again and at last, there was sound. It was just my PC acting funny for some reason.
