But I guess that you should do some beginner modeling tutorials for polygon or nurbs, make them and you can make a banana before you know it.

Best of luck!

you got to be kidding right.., I mean it has to be what everyone is thinking.., or they are completely bamboozled by Maya too much to notice? this IS a joke.

if not (???) you should not be messing with nurbs and doing organics yet.., sure there is no rule, but you would be better off learning the tools with polys. (or get medical assistance )
