Hey all, in the event any of you may or may not know that there are new updates for Maya, here is a list of just a few of the things we recommend you go get NOW if you don't already have them:

1. Maya SP1 update
Having any weird issues with Maya functionality?
Download and update your Maya v8.5 and/or 2008 with the Service Pack 1 update.
This, above all, is recommended as there are TONS of fixes for 8.5 and 2008 user added image

2. Bonus Tools

3. Level Tools

4. Newest Fbx plugin
For importing and exporting Fbx content to and from Maya.
(Those of us using Fusion and Flame NEED this user added image

)

....and TONS more resources are always available.

I cant remember now off the top of my head, but didnt SP1 come out prior to extension 1 and 2?

Ex 1 was the muscle plug in but Ex2 was a full install which I think had the updates to SP1 included, then again you need to be a gold member to have access to Ex1 and 2 so it might not make a difference.
