New to Maya.
I was considering purchasing the helicopter tutorial from the tutorials area on here. I like that it seems to go into depth on a lot of key points and especially modeling the AH-64, since I was trying to model a Blackhawk and I threw in the towel on it, I tried to use nurbs on the fuselage, wow did that get ugly. Have any of you done the Ah-64 tutorial by chance and was it as good as it seems to be?
If I do decide to go with it is their a good nurbs tutorial that is recommended fir absolute beginners?
Thanks.

If you have no Maya experience at all i would suggest you download the free tutorials here or work through the Maya help file tutorials to at least get acquainted with the Maya tool set first though.

I think the Cartoon Dog tut was nurbs, not sure if it's still here, but it was for total beginners. Would be a good place to start

That's his imdb page, the tutorial is new uses maya 2011 and is great for someone just starting out.
I'm bias as it's my site but if you do a search you'll find plenty of other people that will tell you the same thing
Best of luck with Maya.

Ya, I just noticed that. Oh well, I bought it and started downloading the files. Hopefully I'll get a chance to work on it tonight.The surfing alien tut uses a poly workflow, well so far I haven't him use NURBS in there. Welcome to the world of Maya!
