In addition to Maya...

Hi, I'm new to Maya. I've been interested in learning computer animation for awhile, but the learning process has been very slow. I wanted to know if there are any other programs I should be learning as well. I've been tinkering with Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, and will continue to do so, but are there other programs I should know if I really want to be serious about creating great projects in animation?

Thanks!
