hey that would be great mark - it seems we are all in need of mel help! me especially, so its great to have you here!Originally posted by mark_wilkins
Actually I really would never barge into a forum like this and start plugging the book if there weren't already a discussion about it.
Anyway, this forum's a happy discovery and I hope I can add something useful.

Introduction to Maya - Modeling Fundamentals Vol 1
This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

you took the words straight out of my mouth...Originally posted by Kevin
you ever fancy moderating a mel area on a board ?
I know you asked me to mod this area as at the time there was noone else about to do it, and it was strictly speaking "dead"... since its now picked up i have no qualms about standing down for someone else to jump on.

use of MEL
I can see how in a company it would be used extensively to automatize parts of the workflow or operations done so frequently that you'd rather launch a script than repeat them over and over. But people toying with Maya at home probably find it easier to do things by hand than writing a script. At least that's the case for me...
PS: I found this great site because Mark Wilkins mentioned it in the Alias newsgroup, by the way. Thank you Mark!
